Picture of a small group of Barnacle Geese flying above a fieldI must admit I’m not sure where on Islay I took this. I’ve got a feeling it’s somewhere in the Kilchoman/Coull area though, looking towards Saligo (I think the hill on the left might be Cnoc Mor near Coull). Anyway, a small group of Barnacle Geese over a field. And one lone Gull.
