Slatrach Bay

North of Barr-nam-boc Bay North of Barr-nam-Boc Bay, the west coast of Kerrera continues to get shelter from Rubha a' Fhreastaig. The dip of the rocks ensures that the coast remains low, though rocky, as it heads towards Rubha na Lice, which lies hidden in this view by the curve of the coast. The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) was a bit of a surprise - I don't suppose it was yet nesting anywhere, so perhaps my caution in paddling well away from it was unnecessary, but, better safe than sorry !
