Although the BBC weather app said this week was going to be a non-stop grey cloud, we’ve had weather like a greek island – enormous blue skies, swimming in the sea and loch ken, a lovely trip to the ethereal coast @ RSPB Mersehead, a sunset picnic on the rocks and a walk around Rough Island at low tide. We’ve seen oystercatchers, skyhawks and all sorts of other wonderful creatures out and about but our best decision by far was buying bags of birdseed and nuts from Londis in Colvend (it’s behind the counter) and filling up the feeders upstairs and the box on the tree opposite – daily visits from at least two red squirrels and a great spotted woodpecker. Very sad to leave.
