A sunny April day on the west coast of Islay, the old wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach with some dogwalkers in the background.

If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?

Another view of the Robin on the Gorse at Gruinart, taken in April 2024. I like the contrast of the red feathers and yellow gorse.
