Coming or going?
It is that great season when the winter birds are leaving and the summer ones are arriving. That said it is never as simple as that in the Western Isles. I haven't seen a Redwing for weeks and then today there was a decent flock of them on Baleshare. I imagine this is an Icelandic bird that wintered further south and is now making its way back home to breed.
From the distance they can appear dark but when you get the detail on them, they are one of the most beautiful thrushes. Apologies for another bird but the grey light today didn't inspire much else!
