From its small beginnings in the early 2000s Islay’s farm distillery has grown significantly. This is a view of the new and expanded still house in September 2021. The weather wasn’t great for it, but you get an idea of the views out over the fields in the west of Islay from the still house.

While I was sitting in my car watching the Golden Eagle at the top of Loch Indaal I noticed some movement above me out of the corner of my eyes. Quickly got out of the car and managed to grab a few shots of a Buzzard and a male Hen Harrier seemingly having a disagreement.
