I spent yesterday plodding along muddy footpaths looking for the male long-tailed duck that flew up Loch Broom on New Year's Day, and I decided to continue the search this morning. Of course, the bird might have gone, but I wanted if possible to confirm the sighting as I only have my rubbish picture to go on. However, to give the car a run, I would first drive to Ardmair.... and there on the sea was a long-tailed duck!
Several black guillemots, a great northern diver, half a dozen shags, and a buzzard being mobbed by hoodies were also present. Then the forecast rain began so I drove home. After lunch it brightened up a bit - but I was too tired to go out again.
