Some winter visitors to Islay (mostly temporary, as most of them move on to Ireland), two of the many Whooper Swans passing through. Here seen from the hide at Gruinart.

A November morning in Machir Bay, a lone walker on Kilchoman beach while a flock of Whooper Swans is passing high above. They typically don’t winter on Islay, they just pass through on their way to Ireland. Several hundred of them passed within a few days during my November visit.
