Not an American Coot

Tricia's long awaited pre-op assessment for her hip replacement and it looks like January. Also our wedding anniversary so off for a pub lunch before the excitements of looking for the American Coot still on North Uist.
Luckily this involves staring out o a car window as just after we got there, a tremendous hailstorm arrived - one which it would have been very painful to be out in.
Five coots to look at but none had American tendencies. It has to be said it is not often one looks closely at a Coot...
Grimsay market then before retiring home for Tricia to finish regrouting the bath - life on the edge!
