| Ben Nevis in the distance |
Weather is not great but predominantly dry. We were advise last evening that there is a pair of ospreys net Achnacarry at the base of the loch so we went to investigate. Sure enough as we approach we see and osprey in the distance, but too far for the camera. However it does give us an idea where they are nesting. Hawk-eye David spots the nest and we anchor at a non-intrusive distance but close enough to see with binoculars. We wait in hope that she (we have been told that the male has already left her to look after her offspring) will leave her nest and fly around bit for the camera, but no she sits tight on her nest.

There is not a lot at Gairlochy but it gives me an opportunity to take out the bike for a ride. The Cameron Estate is not too far away, including a Clan museum. The house is well hidden and can only be glimpsed through the trees. This is the place were the first commandos were trained. Beside the road is a remnant of a mock-up of a landing craft that was used to prepare for beach landings.
