Spotted from the beach in Port Charlotte, two birds on the water off some rocks at the end of the beach. I’m led to believe they are Red-Throated Divers in their winter plumage, so that’s what I’m calling them.

Not sure from where exactly I took this picture, possibly from the Temperance House in Port Charlotte. The Lochindaal lighthouse in some beautiful April evening sunshine. In the distance to the right you can make out Uiskentuie farm on the shore of Loch Indaal.

Slightly different angle, but the same rocks as in the view with the Paps of Jura. This time the background is provided by the Lochindaal lighthouse.
