I went for a short walk through the town today, and down onto the beach near the camp-site. There were both linnets and twites on grassy areas above the beach. Several swallows were seen. One guillemot and two black guillemots were in the harbour.
Two terns spotted on rocks will have to go down as commics because at that point the sky darkened and rain pelted down, followed by small hailstones. As the storm moved away I set off back home, absolutely wet through. A cuckoo startled me by flying up from the ground ahead; she flew across the river and landed in a gorse bush.
Meanwhile Greger had been for an exercise walk up the hill behind the town and out to Loch Achall; I had intended to go with him but changed my mind at the last moment. He had no rain at all. Typical.
