A favourite spot

Rushgarry on Berneray is somewhere we have been coming to for a long time - perhaps you can see why fr0m the photo.. There is a beautiful thatched hostel at one of the beach where we stayed many times and the beach is always full of birds with few people - a good combination.
The storms of the winter have reshaped areas of this beach - I don't think the spit you can see above was there before. With a lot of washed up kelp, it was full of waders today including Purple Sandpiper, Bar-tailed Godwit, Ringed Plover, Dunlin and Sanderling.
Walking elsewhere on the island we came upon three groups of Snow Bunting - always a treat - and some Otter footprints. One day we'll actually see one and rest assured it will be my blip photo for that day!
