A view from the shore just north west of Rhuvaal lighthouse, looking south east. The lighthouse on the left with some work going on at the roof of the lighthouse keepers cottage. The Paps of Jura in the background, their summits only just below the clouds.
This Buzzard my sister and I spotted walking along the Sound of Islay to Rhuvaal looked rather scruffy. Quite a few feathers missing in the tail as well as the wings. As far as we could tell it didn’t seem to be hindered by it though, at least not in normal flight.
A view across the Sound of Islay from the Isle of Jura, the Calmac ferry Hebridean Isles passing on her weekly Wednesday journey to Colonsay. Colonsay visible in the distance behind Rhuvaal lighthouse.
