Pink- footed Goose.
I spent the morning of 20th September at RSPB Udale Bay on the Black Isle, in the company of over 3000 of them. The noise was incredible! Here are 2 individuals from that crowd.

Northern Gannet.
Watching this Gannet diving for fish, its wing position changing as it rapidly the water. This is my favourite position of the dive, moments later the wings align with the body it pierces the water.

As the dolphins didn't make an appearance I thought I would make use of what was available with this Northern gannet, which put on a good show diving for fish.
