Puffing up the steep steps of the geology trail, I heard a faint sweet song on the wind. I looked up, and a dark bird flew a little way along the cliff with a familiar "chack", landing on a clump of heather on the skyline. A ring ouzel has arrived!
Later: An earlier ring ouzel was seen three days ago a bit north-west of this location, reported on the assyntwildlife site.
