Wet & windy weekend

Just back from a flying visit up north and discovered that a digital SLR can just about survive getting drenched in salt water - I was photographing the waves at Thurso East and didn't spot a big one coming in on the sewer pipe side!

Practising tracking birds at Scrabster - I think this is a skua?

I also made my first visit to Loch More and the weather didn't let up in the hour I was there. It took 10 minutes for my fingers to thaw after getting back into the car!

So I gave it up as a bad job, packed up and drove off - and as I passed Westerdale Mill on the way back, the sun decided to put in an appearance. Typical!
