Taken on a June 2025 afternoon, the MV Finlaggan arriving in Port Askaig at the Sound of Islay (with my sister Imke on board)

Birds at the Paps of Jura (seen from Islay)

Seen from the Bunnahabhain road, I think somewhere near Persabus: A good number of birds swirling around in the air with the Paps of Jura behind them. Unfortunately I didn’t check at the time and can’t properly make out from the picture what they are (I think some are Hooded Crows).

A view from the Bunnahabhain road on a sunny April afternoon. Across the Sound of Islay a nice view of the three Paps of Jura, from left to right: Beinn an Oir, Beinn Shiantaidh and Beinn a’ Chaolais.
