The day before, we hadn't been able to see the Mull, across the sea from Port William. Today we could - so with it being clear and sunny off we set - and it was a glorious day. The highlight was definately the Peregrine that sat out in the open, but the sheer number of hirundines (Swallows and Martins) passing through on migration was remarkable. It was lovely to see so many butterflies as well. Despite it being late summer the flowers were good too, and the heathers - all three species, was coming to its best.

| Summer... |
 |
| So calm! |
 |
| A very grey and polleny bee. I tried to look the species up but didn't realise that bees change their colour with age ..so I gave up! |
 |
| It could be Cornwall, Pembrokeshire or many of the lovely rocky parts of our west coast. |

| This Peregrine flew round and landed .... |
 |
| And back to the campsite for tea and to watch the sun set. |
