Islay is a great place to spot rainbows, this one I saw over Port Ellen on a June evening.

Somewhere around half way up the Kilchoman dunes, a view south(ish) over Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. It is around low tide, so the water is out revealing a wide beach. In the distance towards the left the old chain link radar station (now also home to some modern telecom equipment) on the top of the crags.

Another take on the Curlew on the move in the high grass next to the ‘back road’ from Portnahaven to Port Charlotte near Lossit Bay. Does this look more “dynamic”? Which version do you prefer?
