Another sunny and warm day at Broubster, bailing out the boat and observing many skeins of migratory geese flying high overhead having come from Iceland and other northern parts.
I also saw a fox stalking a hare on my forest road but of course there could be no shooting as it is forbidden on Sundays
I was up and out early before breakfast on Sunday to have an early opportunity to spy the geese now that I had arranged for permission to shoot them on Lochs Thormaid and Saorach. Back for breakfast and then at Broubster all day; bailing out the boat, zeroing in my rifles and setting out the decoys on the loch to attract the geese. This also involved rebuilding the hides.

Back for dinner with the other guests which included Mr and Mrs Hay - the salmon fishers - and two other fishers who I chatted with for a while. It was another sunny and warm day, but the breeze had come round to a northerly quarter, and I could see and hear many skeins of migratory geese flying high overhead having come from Iceland and other northern parts. I was also interested to see a fox stalking a hare on my forest road but of course there could be no shooting as it is forbidden on Sundays.
