There are some Swallows nesting at the old hide at RSPB Gruinart, quite difficult to catch in flight, they are so fast. Luckily one of them decided to take a break and pose for me on a fence just outside the hide.

While most of Islay’s Bluebells can be found in and around Bridgend Woods they also plentiful in other places. These I spotted along the path to the old bird hide at RSPB Gruinart, with a Hoverfly photobombing while I was taking this picture.
