Early in 2018 Marta contacted us to say she wanted to buy Chris a ‘Wildlife’ holiday in Scotland for his birthday and did we want to come. We said we’d love to, so we all went on a whirlwind tour of Mull, through Skye, to North Uist, and had several days during which we were taken around by wildlife guides. Fantastic! They knew exactly where to go to see the birds and beasts. We saw hen-harriers, eagles, otters, all sorts, even a cuckoo, which we’d never seen before.
The weather was mixed and we had one very rough ferry crossing, but the sun shone on the days we were out and about with our guides.
Here are some of our pictures, with a few of Chris’s picture thrown in.
