Not exactly a rare bird, but still a very popular bird, the Robin. I quite like the look of it sitting on top of the yellow flowers on the Gorse.

Spotted in the distance at Gruinart (hence the not great photo quality, had to crop this quite a bit), a Buzzard being mobbed by a Lapwing and a Crow (not sure what type). This went on for a while, unfortunately can’t remember how it ended.

I’m not entirely sure what this pair of Lapwings was doing, although I’m guessing it was some kind of mating ritual. Watched from the bird hide at Islay’s RSPB Loch Gruinart.
