Following the storm this morning, it was real bonus to be able to walk around Bearnaraigh (or Great Bernera) in  sunshine, albeit in still windy conditions.
Two highlights for me, my best view of the holiday of Twite, including a pair feeding young, and an agitated greenshank on a roadside loch, clearly breeding. Great stuff!
