Spotted this small murmuration of Starlings in the evening sky while walking out to watch the summer solstice sunset over Islay and Jura from Gigha. So I took a picture of them under the colourful late evening clouds.
It’s often worth staying a bit longer after sunset to enjoy the beautiful mild colours of the gloaming, the last light after sunset. This is the gloaming after the summer solstice sunset over Islay and Jura seen from the west coast of Gigha. Also notice the crescent moon which has appeared in the sky towards the left.
A sunny summer view from the west coast of Gigha, looking over to Islay (left) and Jura with the distinctive Paps of Jura (right). The view is from the Western Link Path, one of the several beautiful paths around the island.
