Same as with the previous picture I’m not sure what these two lapwings were doing at Islay’s RSPB Gruinart reserve. I assume it was some kind of mating ritual, as I took the picture in April 2024.

A view north west from the old hide at RSPB Gruinart. No birds immediately visible in the picture because it’s a quite wide angle, but there was plenty to see with binoculars. In the far distance just left of centre you can just spot Ben More on the Isle of Mull, the only island Munro outside of Skye.
