Weather: warm and dry but windy
Siskin, troll bridge, toad, hooded crow, little lambs.

A morning spent watching gannets diving into loch Gairloch, we then ventured out,  along the path between the golf course and the beach to the harbour,  and up Flowerdale to the waterfall, where there were lots of wildflowers along the way, including primroses, violets, celandine and bluebells.

The waterfall was impressive,  but unfortunately one of those that you can't see well when close to. The path down was easy but a little wet. We gad lunch at a bench in the car park at the bottom of the hill doing the arboretum walk through the steep woodland and back through a damp meadow to the road.
