Red Throated Diver preening
Once we’d checked out of Hillside Brae we went up to the loch. My partner, ever tolerant and understanding, left me to go and watch these birds from the hide for a few hours. In that time, I was lucky to watch the Divers tend to their chick and preen. It was a fantastic experience and a great way to end the trip.
