Went to check out a possible White-fronted Goose that had been seen on Skye yesterday. Today I went to find it, but it turned out to be a Taiga Bean Goose 😮. A new species for me and also for Skye 🥳

Barnacle Geese must be the most attractive looking of geese 😍. Just look at that patterning on their wings. These are part of a flock of 91 from North Skye today.

Golden Eagle is definitely a good example of brown is beautiful 😍

Just caught the tail end of the Aurora last night over Portree.
Yes this Iceland Gull is a 2nd Winter bird. I noticed that you didn’t get a reply to your question. Better late than never 😉

This White-tailed Eagle looked like some winged mythical beast on first glance as it flew over the A87 near Broadford this morning 😮. But it was carrying what looks like the remains of a Greylag Goose 😬
