Made the most of the nice weather by heading to the Isle of Arran on Saturday, where the sun shone all day. Nice
Black Guillemots in Ardrossan harbour. Thought I saw a
Skua briefly on the ferry but when I moved to the other side of the boat for a better view I lost it and never saw it again. A couple of
Common Sandpipers were pottering about the coastline in front of Brodick Castle, and those were the birdy highlights of what wasn't a birdy trip.
On Sunday, however, the sun continued to be kind and we headed for Bass Rock, which was as spectacular as I remembered from a trip many years ago. While we were there I missed a pair of
Garganey at Inverkeithing, but I have no complaints. Aside from
Gannets there were plenty
Puffins,
Guillemots,
Kittiwakes,
Fulmars and
Razorbills, but the
Gannets are undoubtedly the star of this show.
