Admittedly it’s only faint and small, but it was still fascinating (and surprising) to watch: A small whirlwind/waterspout approaching the beach in Machir Bay on a breezy November early afternoon. It moved across the beach before disappearing when it reached the dunes.
A Whinchat (at least that’s what I think it is, hope I identified it correctly) calling somewhere west of Loch Gorm close to the road between Kilchoman and Saligo.
The weather can change quickly on Islay. About 45 minutes after I took the picture of the wave rolling out on the beach in nice sunshine the clouds already visible on the horizon brought a heavy rain shower. And another 30 minutes later it was sunny again.
