The weather forecast for today's tour was bang on . . . heavy rain, low cloud and a strong breeze. A challenging day to say the least! We did see a Comic Tern, one of the first arrivals back on Skye. Great Northern and Red-Throated Divers gave us good views as they came close inshore, the Red-Throats even serenading us with their haunting calls.
A Red Deer and her calf sheltered from the rain, the mother lying down as she waited for her youngster to negotiate the fence she'd so easily jumped.
A lone Puffin bobbed on the water under the cliffs, and the Seals loafed around as usual oblivious to the weather. . . . . And yes we even had one of Skye's famous upward waterfalls.And despite the rain and cloud we managed to get close views of three Sea Eagles as they patrolled over the forest and loch. . . . . . There was however a touch of irony to my wildlife watching today . . more on that to follow!
