Otter in the gloaming in Saligo Bay, Isle of Islay

Picture of an Otter running across a beach in the fading light of the gloamingA nice bonus after watching an Islay sunset in November: In the fading light of the gloaming I spotted this Otter running over the beach in Saligo Bay. Unfortunately it disappeared behind the dunes fairly quickly and I didn’t see it again.

A view from a beautiful June evening on Islay, returning to Kilchoman from Sanaigmore. On the way I stopped above Loch Gorm for this beautiful view of the loch in the gloaming, the last light of the day.
