Picture of a Highland Cow on a hill with a small murmuration of Starlings flying pastAnother view of the impressive Highland Coo bossing the hills at Kilchiaran, this time with a small murmuration of Starlings flying past. While I haven’t really seen the large murmurations other places are known for (e.g. Otmoor in Oxfordshire, England) on Islay, I still think these smaller ones are fun to watch as they wheel around.
