Better

Still a bit damp but with improving conditions for this tour. The Lapwing were feeding in a field next to the road...
...and a Northern Wheater was hopping along the fence posts.
Probably the same GN Diver showed a lot better today...
...and both the WT Eagles were perched in trees.
A RT Diver was seen while we scanned through a flock of Eider on the loch. Distant views of a Golden Eagle were improved on when we found a closer bird with another three flying together. There were plenty of Field Gentian in flower...
...an Adder was basking in the sun...
...and we checked out the Grass of Parnassus.
We found a juvenile WT Eagle sitting on a hillock, an adult WT Eagle perched on a rock in the sea, Hooded Crows were enjoying the nicer weather...
...and a Stonechat was quite obliging.
A couple of Mountain Hare were seen with one of them close enough for photos until the sheep moved it on.
