I have just returned from a walk to Caol Ila passing the Heatherhouse. The weather has become quite friendly and the sun is doing its best to burn away the remaining clouds from the rain front that passed us yesterday, and so far it looks like the sun is on the winning hand. Temps are quite high and it feels very humid. I didn't see much wildlife, the Roe Deer that are usually present were gone, perhaps due to the larger amount of traffic on the Port Askaig road due to the closure of Port Ellen. I did see some gold finches and I heard the always present Cuckoo and dozens of song birds which I can't identify but enjoyed very much. The pictures are perhaps not of the best quality because I took the wee camera with me! Later this morning we're probably off to Loch Gruinart or thereabouts. Have a nice day!
