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.

Just a short distance down from the dunes view over Saligo Bay, the view from where probably most people enter and walk down to the beach. Towards the right a narrow track leads down to the beach.
