A bit of fun in the water of Machir Bay off Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay in June 2025. That’s me having fun with some of the waves breaking on the beach, jumping and splashing through them. As there can be dangerous currents in Machir Bay I always stayed close to the beach, able to easily stand and walk back if necessary. Picture taken by my sister Imke.
Looking out from the track to Kilchiaran on a beautiful November day. Waves are rolling into Machir Bay from the Atlantic, breaking as they approach the beach to roll out in the golden sands. The Kilchoman dunes just visible on the right.
A view from the bird hide at Gruinart on a November late afternoon. Some Geese (I believe Barnacle Geese) arriving for the roost against the last light of the gloaming in the sky.
