A view back from an Islay ferry having just left Port Askaig en route to Kennacraig on the mainland in late June 2025. You can make out Port Askaig on the left as well as the famous Paps of Jura on the right. Sgarbh Breac on Islay also in the distance towards the left, but Rhuvaal lighthouse is too far to make out.

Spotted by my sister Imke while we were walking though the dunes at Kilchoman on our way to the beach, lots of Cinnabar Moth Caterpillars.
