Spent a fabulous day in Arisaig. The trip up was fairly uneventful with few birds on view (although a Swallow in Fort William was welcome). Highlights instead were glorious views just north of Tyndrum and then at Ballahullish, looking back up Glencoe. Arisaig proved to be full of surprises with banks of wildflowers on the cliffs, huge crabs in the rockpools (later we caught some with a hook baited with Limpet), glorious views to Rum and Eigg, Razor "Fish" galore and an incredible variety of seaweeds. Birds around the campsite included Pied Wagtail, Rock Pipit, Sand Martin, possible Wheatear, Gannets passing offshore and nesting Swallow. The drive home was fairly bird-free, but brightened up by a stunning rainbow, probably the best I've ever seen.
