Greylag geese and Hill of Markamouth
Greylag geese and Hill of Markamouth
The numerous lochs in the area host a lot of Greylag geese. Those in the picture were put up from a lochan some 300 m SW of this spot and flew in a circle around me before heading east in the direction of Fugla Water. The simple but elegant cairn marks a small high spot.
