MV Eilean Dhiura in the Sound of Islay

Spotted from the much bigger Islay ferry, the small Jura ferry MV Eilean Dhiura crossing the Sound of Islay. If you look closely you also just spot Rhuvaal lighthouse in the distance. Not to mention Colonsay and Oronsay on the horizon.

A view from the RSPB Loch Gruinart reserve on Islay, looking over to Colonsay (middle distance) and the Isle of Mull with Ben More (far distance). A bird of prey, I believe a Buzzard, in flight above the shore of Loch Gruinart.
