Jura

Another glorious day and a trip across to Jura, for our usual walk up to the coral beaches at the northern end of the Sound of Jura. The highlight was undoubtedly watching an otter hunting off the coast and then eating its catch. Cuckoos calling and plenty of Green Hairstreak butterflies. 

A calm crossing.

Walking along the coast.

Towards Inver Cottage - which is being substantially renovated.

A new solar farm.

Green Hairstreaks and a Small Copper.

Intermediate-leaved Sundew and Heath Spotted-orchid.

The Paps of Jura.

Our destination...

And then....

Time to watch this Otter,

..and now the long walk back.

Garden Tiger Moth caterpillar.

Glorious!


Raised beach.

Thrift.

Return ferry...

..and a pint!
