A view of Bowmore with the distillery and the Round Church, seen across Loch Indaal in some beautiful June evening light. The distillery on the right, the Round Church at the top of the village on the left. Also a bird in flight (top left)
I played with this dog for a while during a visit to Laphroaig distillery in June 2024, it kept returning various sticks from Loch Laphroaig as I threw them out for it. Not sure if it was local, but it didn’t seem to belong to any of the other visitors around, so I assume it is living somewhere at Laphroaig or nearby on Islay.
I’m not entirely sure what this pair of Lapwings was doing, although I’m guessing it was some kind of mating ritual. Watched from the bird hide at Islay’s RSPB Loch Gruinart.
