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?

Maybe not the clearest picture, but then it was taken over quite a distance (approx 6 miles) on an overcast hazy day. Seen across Loch Indaal and Laggan Bay from somewhere between Port Charlotte and Nerabus on the Rhinns of Islay, the service plane is leaving from Islay International Airport at Glenegedale for its flight to Glasgow.
