 In the early hours of the morning the group awoke to go hunting for otters. Although no otters were seen some members of the group saw a seal and some gannets. They returned for a hearty breakfast before returning to the beach.

At the beach they were able to see lots of interesting wildlife including common gulls (which aren't that common), a grey wagtail as well as many different types of seaweed which they learnt how to identify through their appearance. They were also able to identify many species of crab that were seen.

After lunch, they went to the Brodick Highland Games where they witnessed Caber Tossing for the first time. There were also many stalls where you could buy anything from burgers to wool. They finished off the day with a wonder round the gardens of Brodick Castle.
