The oilrig aground at Dalmore, Lewis, is listing more than before.

The Transocean Winner is now leaning further to one side compared to its position on Monday.

Photographs by Iain Maciver shows the rig tilting on its southward edge.

The pronounced list is clearly seen in this photo. A film of oil has been observed in the water at this spot, believed to be hydraulic fluid leaking from the nearest, lower leg of the rig.
