Mull of Oa and Bridgend

Although we visited the Mull of Oa on the first day we didn't get very far. So we went back to the full walk around the Mull and the Monument. The day started off extremely dull with thick, heavy cloud. At lunchtime this all disappeared very quickly, changing to sunny skies again.

We had finished the Mull by late lunchtime so had a walk around the woods at Bridgend. Great carpets of Bluebells, as well as brief glimpses of Dipper and Grey Wagtail. We vowed to return when we had more time.

Bunnahabhainn

Up to the unpronounceable Bunnahabhainn (boo-na-ha-ven) for a walk round the coast. A pair of Golden Eagles were soaring over the hills on the way. More Common Seals were found lounging on rocks, many with radio collars fitted.
