Well it's been a busy week with some great highlights. The Golden Eagles have been putting on a good show all week, with birds posing for the telescope, and others low overhead where binoculars could be put aside in favour of good-old eyesight alone.
The wildlife here on Skye is amazing and sometimes it's been a case of choosing what "not" to see as much as what to look for.
Today I shelved the idea of watching the Minke Whales simply as it was grey and misty on the coast . . . great conditions to see the whales, but less so for standing watching them in!
Instead our trip South and East rewarded us with a female otter hunting along the shore. Obligingly she came up on the rocks with a fish and we could put her in the scope. And the decision to head East meant the sun was even shining for our picnic lunch . . . what could be better?
Maybe the Minke will get their turn tomorrow?
