Something for those who don’t use Twitter, as I already retweeted them there. Or if you missed the retweets. Tom Lowe is into birdwatching and aurora hunting among other things. Recently he visited Islay, I believe mainly for birdwatching (Geese and Whooper Swans to name a few), but also ventured out at least one night. I hope you enjoy the results:

On the same morning he also captured this:
