Plan A for the day had been to walk from Kintra to Soldier's Rock, however the recent rain led to the burn that you cross, being far too high to cross safely, so we had to head back. As you park near the beach for this walk, we made Plan B: a walk along the beach, but again a deep paddle would have been required to ford the first stream that crossed the beach, so Plan C came into action: a trip to the Oa.

| A curtailed walk along the beach. |
 |
| A nice Flapper Skate egg case. |
 |
| Dreich! |
 |
| Heading to the Oa ...and a decent pair of horns! |
 |
| Roadside: lots of Ragged Robin. |
 |
| Probably Northern Marsh-orchid. |
 |
| Lesser Butterfly Orchids - there were lots of roadside orchids, but it was raining too much to risk the camera anymore! |
 |
| Spectacular coast... |
 |
| And you'll have to trust me, but it is a Golden Eagle. |
 |
| Waterfalls in full flow. |
 |
| The weather was supposed to improve at midday - you can just about make out the pale blue of the incoming decent weather above the far horizon. |
 |
| Goats. |
 |
| The mist/cloud was coming off the sea... |
 |
| Damp Hares washing and drying... |
