West coast excursion

After Dingwall and watching the geese we headed west through the mountains towards Gruinard Bay.  Our first major stop was at the top end of Little Loch Broom, by which time the snow had begun to arrive in flurries, views of Golden Plover, Turnstones etc  before we headed along the coast where we had five White-tailed Eagles in the sky at once. At Little Gruinard we had lunch in a lay-by and splendid views of the mountains and a distant Golden Eagle before heading along the coast to Gairloch and the harbour for great views of a very obliging Great-northern Diver. A snowy drive home via the lowest altitude route within reason!
