Islay and Jura October 2020

A week long Naturetrek trip to the islands of Islay and Jura took place in October 2020 and the images that follow were from that tour. We experienced some pretty powerful weather with strong winds, rain, sunshine but relatively mild temperatures. I think there were rainbows every day!
