Christine's walking & birds blog

The Ievoli Black was a fine sight as we drove out of Ullapool - probably testing its fire-fighting equipment but looking as though it was trying to impress the cruise liner, Viking Venus. (I think I've probably been birding too long.)

On our walk today a golden eagle rose gracefully above a distant ridge.....
Other birds seen: quite a few willow warblers, one redpoll, one wheatear, several common sandpipers, three Canada geese, several meadow pipits, one pied wagtail, and one song thrush. Two cuckoos were heard calling from the plantations across the loch.
