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.

A view from a ferry travelling up the Sound of Islay (helped by a telephoto lens). Rhuvaal with the lighthouse towards the left, behind it Colonsay in the distance.

Hazy Sound of Islay view. And a gull.

A view up the Sound of Islay from the Islay ferry on the way to Port Askaig on a hazy June evening. Rhuvaal lighthouse in the distance on the left. Colonsay in the far distance. Also a random (and annoyingly slightly out of focus) gull over the Sound.
