Dreich

Our first full day and a damp one. Our first walk was from our campsite at Balranald. Not many photos as it was damp and windy...interestingly we are too early, this year, for the orchids - it looks like quite a late year with Marsh Marigolds and Cuckoo Flower being in full flower.


Plenty of birds on the washed up seaweed.

Turnstones and Ringed Plover.

The Thrift is just coming onto flower.

Sheltering and sleeping - Great Northern Diver.

Some nice folding.

An incredibly cosy looking Raven's nest.

Fields of Mountain Pansies and Daisies.

Closer in ...

Despite the weather the sea still has a tinge of turquoise.

After lunch back at the pod, we headed south to Baleshare, where there were some decent waves pounding the beach, before the decent rain arrived! 



A quick look in the Iron Age midden...where we found a few pieces of pottery...

Before a hasty retreat as the rain approached.
