Birds at the Paps of Jura (seen from Islay)

Seen from the Bunnahabhain road, I think somewhere near Persabus: A good number of birds swirling around in the air with the Paps of Jura behind them. Unfortunately I didn’t check at the time and can’t properly make out from the picture what they are (I think some are Hooded Crows).

A view from the Bunnahabhain road on a sunny April afternoon. Across the Sound of Islay a nice view of the three Paps of Jura, from left to right: Beinn an Oir, Beinn Shiantaidh and Beinn a’ Chaolais.
