Ringed Plover

Another day, another bird. Ringed Plover are always dapper.
Another busy day too. We started heading down a road into nowhere at Glenelg. A half decent walk down to the Sandaig Isles - where Gavin Maxwell lived and wrote Ring of Bright Water. Ruadh decided chasing a deer was much more fun than staying with us and ended in disgrace. The last time I had been there was 35 years ago and the walk felt a fair bit further this time.
After another visit to the broch there, a recuperative pint in the Glenelg Inn helped refresh the knees as did a barbecue at the roadside on the shore opposite Kintail.
A final leisurely drive through Skye left us a couple of hours waiting for the ferry before the two hours boat journey and short drive before home - met with much relief on Ruadh's behalf.
