Gannet

A nice start to the day as there were still plenty of Gannets around.

While watching the Gannets feeding we located 3 WT Eagles on the ridge. They were fairly distant but nice to see them flying around and landing but one of the birds peeled off and flew overhead. We lost sight of the eagle when we were watching a Common Seal but I had just caught sight of it disappearing. A quick change of location gave us some spectacular views.

Plenty of waders to be seen through the day - Golden Plover, Greenshank and Redshank were the highlights. A pair of Golden Eagle kept us entertained for a while. Plenty of common birds were seen along the way, a single sighting of an Adder and a few Black Darters around too.

Aftermath.

After the wedding and the showers...

...the kids stayed in for a bit of Mull therapy.

All the usual trips to the beach and wandering around in the landscape will always produce something of interest. Feral Goats hung around when we went to the beach - a bit too close with the wind blowing their scent right at us!

Plenty of butterflies were seen but the grandkids were a bit too keen to get close - a Peacock is always a delight though.

An Adder was an exciting sighting for all but there wasn't much excitement for the Black Darters that were flying along the forest tracks.

A superb sighting of a couple of Golden Eagle had me wishing I'd had the DSLR with me.
