Scotland Day 4

I just could not sustain getting up early again and we decided to get up a bit later and have a lazy day.

Stoat!

We went first to Loch Garten again and paid our respects to Odin the Osprey who was having a scrap with a Crow.  The feeders were quieter than normal but did hold a couple of Red Squirrel which are always nice to see.

We then decided to investigate how much it would cost to park at Loch an Eilein and turned around after we saw the rip-off prices charged by the Rothiemurchus Estate.  A park at the side of the road not far from there gave me Cuckoo, a hidden singing Wood Warbler and a surprise special guest in the form of a Stoat.

In the afternoon, we decided to walk round Loch Morlich where we saw a distant view of Black Throated Diver, Goosanders and displaying Goldeneye.

The bonus birds of the day were roding Woodcocks over our B&B - Excellent!
