There are some Swallows nesting at the old hide at RSPB Gruinart, quite difficult to catch in flight, they are so fast. Luckily one of them decided to take a break and pose for me on a fence just outside the hide.

Watched from the “old” hide (south hide) at Gruinart, one of the summer visitors to Islay preening its feathers before flying on to catch insects.

Not the clearest shot, but I was glad to have captured it in the first place: A Swallow emerging from the water after a low pass and briefly dipping into the water (I guess trying to catch an insect on the water).
