Track over the machair This is the track from the parking place to Feall Bay.  Vehicles obviously use it to save what is a very pleasant walk, although a sign at the car park asks them not to.

There's a corncrake in there somewhere! Coll's machair in full bloom, and the haunting rasp of the corncrake calling.  It's in there somewhere but this elusive bird cannot be seen in the long vegetation.  The island of Bac Mor (Dutchman's Cap) in the right distance.
