A beautiful June early morning in Craighouse on the Isle of Jura, the sun rising over the Bay of Small Isles with the Argyll mainland in the distance.

Met this young dog on the Corran Sands on Islay’s neighbour Jura, wanting to play fetch again and again. Admittedly it’s not a stick though, but some seaweed which had to stand in as a stick. As you can see dog was happy anyway, wagging its tail.

Admittedly not the greatest picture, but then it was taken with a relatively small lens from a moving boat in bad light. Returning to Craighouse from a RIB trip to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool we spotted this Golden Eagle being pursued by what I believe to be some crows (I think the ones closest to it are two Hooded Crows?) above the Bay of Small Isles.
