Spotted near the end of Evans’ Walk at Loch Tarbert on Jura, a pretty butterfly. I believe a Small Copper.
A view north from near the entrance to Loch Tarbert. The loch stretches out into the distance, almost cutting Jura in half. On the right the impressive Glenbatrick Lodge, Glenbatrick River coming out of Glen Batrick behind it, but difficult to make out from this viewpoint.
On my detour from Evans Walk I climbed up to the summit of Corra Bheinn (573m), from where I had great views over two (the third was hidden from view from here) of the famous Paps of Jura. Beinn Shiantaidh (757m) straight ahead, Beinn an Oir (785m) behind it to the right. The Bay of Small Isles in the distance on the left. The entrance to Loch Tarbert just visible behind Corra Bheinn on the right.
