Ullapool: At least two wheatears were on the beach at high tide this morning.
The turnstone was quite well camouflaged until I (and a woman with two dogs) unintentionally disturbed it. But the dogs went quietly on their way and I got my shot, all without the turnstone flying off.
I note that the PM and his girlfriend have taken delivery of a "rescue" dog at Number 10. Both "massive dog lovers", apparently. Funny that they haven't already got one then. Googling her, I discovered that she attended the annual Birdfair event at Rutland Water in August. In her speech, she said that she was "new to birdwatching" - having recently visited a puffin colony. Funny, again, that she should do that now - when there's a general election on the horizon. Are people really taken in by all this? Give me strength.
