Out on the windy, thrifty machair hobnobbing with ringed plovers and dunlins was a tiny bright wader that just had to be a little stint.
The waders flew around calling for a bit and some, including the stint, landed closer to me.
Earlier, I had seen two sanderlings and three dunlins across the headland at Badentarbat, while a rather skinny-looking great skua landed to pick at a dead lamb high up on the beach.
