Christine's walking & birds blog

Splashes in the ferry's wake suggested two animals present, and a very poor photo shows something that might be a light grey dorsal fin - maybe Risso's dolphins, maybe not. Another poor pic at least proves that an Arctic skua spotted chasing a kittiwake succeeded in nicking its meal.

Otherwise, I'm in disgrace at the moment. With myself. I decided to tackle someone on the issue of stone-taking at Ardmair, and wished immediately that I hadn't. I don't know when I became the world's policeman, but I'm still finding it difficult to "come down" from the reaction I always experience after such encounters. You would think I'd learn. Anyway, won't go there again for a long time.
