We're putting in full days on our translation job now as we realise we might otherwise not get it finished by the end of March. I'm grateful we have the work as it keeps my mind occupied and I'm tired by the evening from all the typing. But today Greger had to take his car to Inverness to get the wheel alignment done, so I went with him. It was a bright, sunny day.
The photo is looking downstream along the River Ness towards the cloud-shrouded Ben Wyvis. This seems odd as the mountain is inland, but the river flows into the Beauly Firth, which is itself the inland extension of the mighty Moray Firth. The tide is out, exposing the "gull spit" on the west bank.
Three dippers were along the same bank this time, two of them being very vocal and chasing one another.
A pair of mergansers dived constantly in the fast-flowing water, and I could only get a passable shot of the male.
On the drive home, two whooper swans were seen on the far side of Loch Glascarnoch.
