A Trip to Oban

Post by Linda257 »

Decided on a wee 3 nights in Oban as I had a few days off work...well why not as I aint been anywhere in like ages...day trips don't count :shrug:
So here is where I stayed , the resident birds...sadly no pine marten or red squirrels where seen :shrug:

It looks a lovely spot. The Hooded Crows were a treat for we southerners :nod: . A bottle of Rose and a big bag of crisps is the ultimate Welcome Pack so I'm glad you managed to keep your focus. :)
