A wee child lifting a starfish from a rockpool on Islay

'Mios ro gach ràith a choltas'
A month before each season, its appearance comes

 

Four thousand people and fifty thousand geese. White-fronted, oink-footed, greylag, brent and over three-quarters of the world’s barnacles.

 

Watch the whirling woodcock and spy a barn owl. On unfenced roads avoid cock(y) pheasants and shy roe deer.

Be-witched by otters searching for crabs and lazy seals sunning on the rocks and sandbanks

Discover the natural rhythmn of Islay
