Manx Shearwater

A picture of a Manx shearwater passing two of the skiffs on the Pillage as they crossed the Sound of Islay yesterday on their way to Ardbeg.  We had stayed in Craighouse on Jura the previous night and at Tobermory on Mull the night before that. 

More pictures from the pillage are on the Ileach Flickr Photostream accessed through http://www.ileach.co.uk/

    Hi There
    The latest pillage was a voyage by three skiffs to collect whisky from Tobermory, Jura and Ardbeg distilleries that will be auctioned for charity. It is organised by Lagavulin Fundraisers
    www.lagavulinfundraisers.com

    Check out www.ileach.co.uk for video and the Ileach Flickr photostream for pictures - also acced through the Ileach website.
    Cheers
