Mull of Oa

After a much needed lie-in (for one of us) an afternoon around the Mull of Oa. Didn't go far with all the big lenses. Still extremely hazy.
Finished off the day down on the beach at Kilnaughton Bay.

A pair of Cuckoo were being hassled by some small birds (Meadow Pipits I think). They kept trying to get down to what we assume were the nest but the Pipits were too vigilant. In the end the Cuckoos flew off.

The cottage came complete with a new security feature, Cat-In-A-Pot, a local feline that sits in the plant pot right outside the kitchen window and stares at you while doing the dishes.
