Hoxa

A cycle to Hoxa and back on the ebike, about 60km, which necessitated a coffee and quick battery top-up at the Murray Arms in St Margarets Hope. Conditions were good for looking for whales, but the usual lack of luck. Some orcas were there yesterday, and a pod of Risso's today turned up long after I had left. Still, it brightened up and I enjoyed watching the arctic skuas steal fish from kittiwakes only to be robbed in their turn by great skuas.
