We are about 100 miles away from our lodgings, so to break the journey we head to Oban, I really like our visits here. so day 1 of the trip.
Our first bird tick of the trip is Hooded Crow, we see plenty of them while around the. Oban area.
Also out on the water we pick out 3 male & 1 female Eider Duck then the real target bird is spotted Black Guillemot to give us year tick 2.
After our fill of Oban we head up to pick up the Corran ferry, it's £7.60 for the 5 minute trip over.
Off now for the drive up to Fort William where we will be staying for the next 3 nights, it's a nice drive up the side of Loch Lomand for a good part of the journey, when we arrive we find that Brian has picked another nice place for us stay at.

If only they all came this close I might get some good photos. |
