Walking along the beach to the southwest of Golspie today the sun was almost painful in our eyes. It seems we, in what should be the bitter northeast of Scotland, are blessed with fine weather while the south of England is flooded, though I am sure we will yet see some more appropriate weather.
We have a wide choice of walks yet, in such weather and with the tide right, we are constantly drawn back to the beach. We had the additional privilege today of being able to walk along a beach shared by only three other people in the two hours we wandered it.
For some time we sat on a rock and watched and listened to the waves break, a monotonous but soothing sound to which, if we ever get the opportunity, I would love once again to fall asleep.
We watched, and were watched by a seal. The denizens of the beach were all very much at peace in their sunshine world, including....
....this grey heron, which seemed quite happy to allow us to approach close, and equally happy to tolerate a redshank on an adjacent boulder.
