14-15 May - a brief trip, the main objective accomplished being the ascent of Liathach on the 14th - see www.scotmunros.blogspot.com. The 15th was cloudy, windy and showery, and the legs were very stiff, so a morning of birding produced the expected pair of Ospreys at Loch Garten, seen doing an incubation changeover - also 2 Red Squirrels (upper, JM) and 2 Siskins (middle, JM) at the feeders. Loch Vaa held a superb pair of Red-throated Divers, and then a quick look at Loch Ruthven produced 2 pairs of Slavonian Grebes (lower, JM). Other birds seen included a pair of Red Kites at Garve and a Greenshank on Loch Gowan, also Common Sandpipers scattered around several lochs.
