A panoramic view in late November 2025 from the dune path leading to the beach in Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic. I quite like the photogenic band of clouds in the distance while there are blue skies above us. The low but still bright afternoon sun on the left providing some beautiful light.

Right after seeing them flying over the RSPB Gruinart car park I watched the Barnacle Geese flying out over the flats before landing for the night.
