After our Tain blizzard we headed up the Comarty Firth, with a great view of a Peregrine swooping through a flock of 400 or more Skylarks. The layby just past Jemimaville on the edge of the Firth, gave us good views of Greater Scaup before another blizzard. The light was beautiful, turning the snow mauve.
We then moved onto our final stop at Chanonry point - where the blizzard had intensified and we couldn't see the sea, yet alone any Brent Geese or Dolphins .....we forsook our tea and cake as it was too bad to even get out!
