Stone, shadow, water

A minimalist shot taken on the beach at Skail. I walked from there along to Marwick and will post a couple of shots on flickr. Looking out for migrants I got about 5 wheatears and 5 great skua among the other birds like purple sandpipers, turnstones etc. A warbler far below on the shore looked like a chiffchaff to me, but a photo showed a shadow of the tail, which was forked, so I think it was a willow warbler. I taled to a pair of visitor birdwatchers...they'd just seen an otter at The Choin, but there was no sign when I got there.
