We left home in sleety rain, but out on the Coigach peninsula the weather turned dry though very cold. A short-eared owl was seen from the car, flying strongly above the moorland between Achnahaird and Badentarbat.
We walked over the waterlogged cliff-tops to the beach but couldn't see any golden plovers today - or anything much at all, come to that. Greger snapped a great northern diver having a wing-flap.
A red-throated diver was also present in the bay, and a distant black guillemot was in breeding plumage. Near the houses there were half a dozen fieldfare.
