A trip to Achnahaird this morning brought this beached jellyfish - a compass jellyfish, maybe.
Saturday: We're not quite ready for another hill-walk yet, so we drove north-eastwards to the Falls of Shin and watched the salmon leaping. We walked in two forest areas; one was Raven's Rock, with wooden steps and handrails in precarious places easing the way through a fairly impressive gorge.
Later: the circular walk has now become two there-and-back routes owing to landslides that destroyed some of the board-walk and made part of the gorge impassable (see blog post May 13 2016).
At Rosehall Forest we got out of the car and there to greet us was a crossbill, singing on top of a spruce - and two siskins which chased it away.
The Scotch argus was seen when we sat on the grassy banks of the River Oykel for a coffee break.
