Last rose of Summer.

A morning of gradually gathering clouds and rising blustery winds, Grey Granite and Rufus walked through Philorth woods, along the Line and over the Esplanade.

The pond in Philorth woods currently home to a large flock of mallards was blown into ripples by the wind. Rufus enjoyed chasing fallen leaves in the wood.

Mixed messages; a late flowering dog rose and scarlet hips on the line near Philorth Halt

Unusually, there were dozens of gannets plunge diving, in great white splashes  just out from the Kessock Burn outlet.
