1ST-3RD JULY

It's been a busy few days for wildlife tours and there have been some superb sightings. Highlights have been 20+ Basking Sharks, Grey & Common Seals, Otter, Corncrake, Red-throated Diver, Hen Harrier, breeding Shags and Fulmars,  a host of machair wildflowers and an impossible number and variety of orchids.

Best bits of an evening session at Cliad included a breaching Minke Whale, Basking Shark, Moss Carder and Red-shanked Carder Bees, a pair of beautiful Hebridean x Early Marsh coccinea hybrids and the first Grass of Parnassus of the summer.
