Storm Arwen saw winds gusting well over gale force here, nothing compared to the 98mph recorded in Northumberland but probably the fiercest since we've been in Golspie. In the late evening the northwesterly swung quickly into the north to bring curtains of almost horizontal snow, the flurries continuing into daylight hours.
This morning we walked, very gently, by the sea. The
NS Elida was still anchored out in the firth, occasionally obscured by passing snow showers. Between them....
....we enjoyed welcome bursts of warm sun, but what made the walk special was the sighting of....
....the first sea eagle since we've been here. I was convinced it was a sea eagle but two passing Geordies, both with binoculars, also found it and one averred that he could see its white tail. It's barely visible in the centre of this picture.
