Lovely wide vistas and far horizons are what you get on the east coast.....
.....like this one, looking over the pools of Alness towards Cromarty.
We saw common and little terns today but failed to identify any Arctics. A displaying sedge warbler was a nice tick for the site. A little bunch of tree sparrows and yellowhammers suddenly flew up onto the fence; they seem concerned about something in the long grass below, but we noticed nothing at the time.
The previous day, I'd found nothing new in the Coigach area. A rock pipit landed from its song flight, realised I was sitting there, and flew down out of sight.
Today the weather is grey and showery, so we've stayed in - this at least means that some washing and housework (me), and some DIY (Greger) has been done!
