28 July was spent out west visiting Beinn Eighe NNR and the Coulin Estate with our first Azure Hawkers (but no photos ☹️) of the week plus lots of Common (Highland) Darters. #ScottishHighlands#dragonflies#WesterRoss#nature#wildlife#ukwildlife

The 29 July was a damp squib in Abernethy Forest before I ran Paul back to the airport and continued the week on my own. 30 July I was back out west at Beinn Eighe NNR and the Coulin Estate. The day was hot with few #dragonfly#ScottishHighlands

A view looking back north up the upper reaches of the Coulin Estate, Wester Ross. On the left id a large tree above a wide track bu an open expanse of heather with a dead tree stump in the right foreground and the Beinn Eighe massive in the distance under a blue and white cloud sky.
