Something I still haven’t tired of after almost 20 years of visiting Islay and in particular Kilchoman beach: Exploring the gullis, cracks, gaps and more at the southern end of Machir Bay, only accessible at low tide. With the shifting sands there’s always something new to discover, it looks different almost every time.
Birdwatching from a cottage on Islay. I watched this Chaffinch from the sliding door of a cottage at Kilchoman. Not sure what it was after, but it was picking away at some of the moss and earth on the side of the wall.
It was first spotted at the foot of the Kilchoman dunes by some people walking their dog (luckily their dog was on a leash). Having been disturbed this seal then slowly made its way across the beach back to the safety of the water. Seals aren’t the fastest on land, so it took it quite some time.
