At last I managed to get a picture of the elusive Corncrake Chick from the lounge window. It thankfully quickly disappeared into the long grass when a seagull appeared! Outer Hebrides Birds Tranquil Sands Holiday Home Visit Outer Hebrides

Sitting outside last night, enjoying a Beautiful Sunset. Oh and did I forget we were also joined by our noisy neighbours the Corncrakes. 🤣 Outer Hebrides Birds Visit Outer Hebrides Tranquil Sands Holiday Home

Been a little quiet on social media but very busy behind the scenes. As we have started our summer season we are reminded of why we love this place so much. Heading out the door to the beach where it's never the same twice and that's part of its magic ☀️
