Sorry I haven't participated for a while, but I've been over on Islay with the camera.
I was fortunate to be right amongst the returning Barnacles last Friday. It was quite an electrifying experience to be in the middle of thousands of the birds which were landing with Iceland mud still on their paddles.

Hi Phil
I always fancied a trip to the Islay in the Winter to see the Barnacle Geese, they look fantastic in big flocks. Glad to see you made it and got some nice flight shots, and in lovely light too.

Sounds like a great experience and a fine image to remember the occasion by.
