A slightly unusual sight in June, as normally the Whooper Swans only pass through during their migration in Autumn. Spotted this one at Gruinart on a bright sunny June day.

While the weather on Islay in June is often among the sunniest of the year, there will be rainy periods. Here a rain shower was passing through during my daily walk on Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay.
