Looking through some rather old pictures taking me back to July 2001. Not the greatest quality, but then this was taken with my first digital camera with a fraction of the megapixels and modern phone has in 2026. It’s a submarine and a helicopter exercising off the south coast of Islay, seen from an Islay ferry (I think the Heb Isles).
Seen from an Islay ferry arriving in Port Ellen on an April evening: Some of the skerries off the coast and the mainland at Kintyre hidden by the clouds on the horizon
Spotted from the beach in Port Charlotte, two birds on the water off some rocks at the end of the beach. I’m led to believe they are Red-Throated Divers in their winter plumage, so that’s what I’m calling them.
