Photos from the birding trio from SE England

A trio of men from somewhere 500 miles away visited Islay for the first time a couple of weeks ago, came on the ramble and spent many happy hours exploring the island. They became the 4th, 5th and 6th people to see the Spring Squill at Coul and took a myriad photos of many things- at least one of them did. Thanks to John Lloyd Parry for sending these wonderful photos.
