It’s grim isn’t! Just driven 5miles before a hill defeated us, reversed 1.5miles before finding a decent turning spot, got back and saw a teal fly in and a goosander feeding just off shore

Thank it’s incredible place, spent a day on Skye and on pass of the cattle and not seen one, thought that was it with the weather forecast, seeing it soaring on the mountain side and with snow covered mountains behind, harbour porpoise in the loch in front too
