Rock doves at Scurrival beach


It's said that pure rock doves can be hard to find these days due to hybridisation with feral pigeons and the Outer Hebrides is probably about as good as it gets in the UK for seeing genuine rock doves. There are certainly plenty around here, we've seen many flocks of 100 or more all over the place including these birds at Scurrival beach.



Scurrival beach is one of the most impressive beaches on Barra and is close to the campsite Elaine and I usually stay at when we visit Barra.



Bar-tailed godwits.


Sanderling.


A couple of merlins chased each other over the beach.
