At least three long-tailed ducks were seen from the lay-by in Poolewe on this still, bright day that was full of the colours of autumn.
Also present were several great northern divers, at least two Slavonian grebes, and a pair of mergansers. At Mungasdale, at least 150 barnacle geese were in the sheep fields, while a heron flapping slowly across to the Summer Isles fooled us both into thinking it was a white-tailed sea eagle!
As we turned into our road after a lovely day out, a bunch of chunky shapes at the top of a tree welcomed us home.

Greger counted twenty waxwings from the garden and I walked back to snap them, wondering if they were the same ones I'd seen at Ardmair.
