A great day out recently guiding with photographers Sylvia and Sue in search of some of the local specialities. The day started with 14 Black Grouse at the local lek, then after breakfast on to Strathdearn where first stop was for a lovely view of a Dipper, perched with nesting material near one of the bridges.
A party of wild Goats at the roadside also gave some great photo opportunities as they grazed on the juniper bushes. At the end of the Strath a pair of Peregrines displayed over head with some amazing acrobatics and it wasn't long before we spotted some Mountain Hares sheltering amongst the rocks on the hillside. Strong gale force winds made a walk up the hill rather tricky this time, however this excellent photo of some very happy Mountain Hares was taken the following day in better conditions!
After a stop for lunch in Carrbridge the next top was Abernethy forest for Crested Tit, and it wasn't long before a very obliging bird was entertaining us at a local feeding station as well some very tame Coal Tits feeding from the hand! Thank you Sylvia and Sue for a great day out.
