Scotland (again) 25-28 June 2010

25-28 June - Another visit to Scotland for walking, and a few interesting birds seen in continuing good weather - Red-throated Divers off Arisaig and Inverie, Black Guillemots and an Arctic Skua from the Mallaig ferry, and several Spotted Flycatchers including 2 pairs at Inverie. I also had a brief view of an Otter from the ferry. The mountains themselves held few birds, but one or two Cuckoos were still calling, and on the lochs Common Sandpipers were conspicuous, with a Dipper also seen and a Snipe drumming over the boggy ground at Mam Barrisdale in Knoydart.
