Ardmair views. Then photos were taken just before the sun set at Ardmair near Ullapool, in the north of Scotland.
The scenery is pretty impressive. As for the wildlife, in the few hours we spent there before the sun went down on the sea views were a couple of Oyster Catchers and a very smart looking Ringed Plover just meandering around on the foreshore. Neither seemed to be particularly afraid of me as I took a lot of photos from not a lot more than 10 metres away.
Ringed Plover.
This Ringed Plover wasn’t ringed, as in it didn’t have a ring attached to its leg, unlike its companion, below.
Notice the blue ring on one leg and the silver one on the other.
This smart Oyster Catcher was quite happy to carry on its preening as I photographed it from a few metres. They’re obviously pretty used to people, which was my good fortune.
