Golden plover at Barra airport


The flat grassy fields near Barra airport are great for roosting waders at high tide, especially golden plover and lapwings and during our stay we've seen  flocks of up to 200 of the former. I couldn't say if this is the same flock that has been present all the way through our holiday or if they are just moving through. Today there were a couple of juvenile ruffs with them which were the first we have seen on the island.
