A fabulous week and a bit on Islay. Our first walk, as so often is the case when we visit, was round Ardnave Point. The walk is very diverse, with stunning views and lots of wildlife - just love it! The flowers were spectacular too, so they are the next blog - we hit it right for the orchids!

| Walking down through the dunes. |
 |
| Eider Duck creche - the females look after a group of chicks, the small ones top left are Shelduck chicks. |
 |
| Golden Eagle. |
 |
| Rocky snoozing, while I painted. |
 |
| The classic view! |
 |
| ... and the sun came out. |
 |
| Fabulous colours. |
 |
| Seals on Nave island. |
 |
| The machair was in bloom - a different assemblage of species to the machair in the Uists that we had seen a fortnight ago. |
 |
| Looking over Gruinart to the Paps of Jura. |
 |
| And a glimpse of a Hen Harrier. |
