A view of the MV Loch Ranza leaving Gigha for the mainland. Seen from Port na Gallochoille on a June early evening. Notice the buoy and the cormorants/shag (not sure what they are) on the rocks, one drying its wings.

A magnificent bird, one of several on Islay and Jura, This one we watched from a Ventrure West RIB off Jura, watching us from a tree. Unfortunately I didn’t have my big telephoto lens with me, so this was as good as it got.
