Barnacle Geese and a rainbow, Isle of Islay

Picture of a few Barnacle Geese flying in front of a rainbowSometimes you just have to be lucky and be in the right place at the right time. Combined with a bit of patience and persistence. I had stopped somewhere on the road between Kilchoman and Saligo to see if I could get a decent shot of some Barnacle Geese when in the constantly changing conditions of a November afternoon a rainbow appeared. At some point some Barnacle Geese were spooked and flew off, passing in front of the rainbow after a while.
