The RSPB reserve at Loch Gruinart is a good place to watch a variety of birds on Islay. This Lapwing I watched from the hide at Gruinart, landing in the wetlands.

Choughs are fairly rare birds in the UK, Islay is one of their strongholds with significant numbers. These two I photographed in the dunes at Ardnave. Loch Gruinart is vaguely visible in the background.

A picture from a visit in November 2012, some of the thousands of Barnacle Geese wintering on Islay in flight over the ruin of Kilnave Chapel. Loch Gruinart in the background. The Kilnave Cross is “hiding” on the right corner of the chapel.
