The spectacle is possibly over. An early visit to Ardmair this morning to catch the high tide brought fewer gulls, and just one feeding frenzy - way over by the fish farm. There were no gulls lining the beach on Keanchulish Estate, nor hanging in the sky above Isle Martin. A black guillemot, a black-throated diver, and two mergansers were too far out for photos.
In the afternoon, on the way to Tesco, I made a diversion to Rhue. I took sandwiches and ate them sitting on the rocks in the sun. A couple fishing a little way off were the only other people there. Three porpoises broke the calm surface of the water a couple of times and then vanished. A razorbill was diving not far from the rocks, two great northern divers were further out, and a curlew flew past heading up the loch.
This was the only other shot I got of the little gull.
