The Dolphins put in a very brief appearance this trip, but I did get a knowing look from this Grey Seal as it passed by.

Herring Gull.
Sometimes shouting at the top of your voice is all that will do.

One of my favourite birds, the Curlew, well camouflaged against a rocky beach.

Northern Gannet.
As the dolphins didn't make an appearance I thought I would make use of what was available with this Northern gannet, which put on a good show diving for fish.

Visited Loch Garten on Saturday hoping to see a Crested Tit but no luck this time. Others were kind enough to turn up and pose, including this good looking Siskin.

Robin with a tough decision to make... Eat it all or have half now and half later?

Goldfinch and Sparrow feeding on seed heads. The Goldfinch didn't seem interested in putting up a fight on this occasion.
