Well we woke today to find an overcast morning, the sun did make an appearance early afternoon but then more cloud rolled in.
This morning we went to a small island called Flodaigh, which is part of Benbecula. On Flodaigh there is an area called Seal Point and we were hoping, funny enough, to see some seals. We did see a couple of heads sticking out the water, but none hauled out on the side of the Loch. We were however not disappointed since we were treated to a wonderful display of an otter catching fish and eating them. It was much better than the glimpse we had yesterday.
In the afternoon we headed north to the island of Berneray which is north of North Uist. Here we did see a number of seals hauled out on the rocks, we also saw one swimming and jumping out of the water a number of times like a dolphin.
Tonight we are back on the camp site on North Uist. This is our last night on the southern islands, tomorrow we go back to Berneray and catch the ferry to Harris. We will then spend the second week of our holiday exploring the islands of Harris and Lewis.
