Merlins and peregrines spotted today at the Mull. Also lots of woolly bears (otherwise know as garden tiger moth caterpillars). The heather is brown now and the sea is getting wilder by the day. There were spectacular waves forming as the Luce Bay tide went out today, and the gannets are still around, gliding past the foghorn in groups. The visitor centre roof keeps making disconcerting noises as the gusts blows in under the tiles.
I'm away walking the West Highland Way for a few days, but don't despair, the visitor centre stays open and is in safe hands with Mr. Coulthard, Miss Lesley, and Ellie the half blind spaniel. We may not be running the guided walk on Thursday 29th though, so if you were planning on coming along for it, please phone in to check the situation in advance.
