Munroing.......a few birds

27-28 May - settled weather in the Highlands, for a day near Loch Quoich, and day on Ben Lui. Birds seen included, on 27th - Wood Warblers and Tree Pipit singing in the woods near Loch Quoich - then on the hill, Snipe on territory, good views of a singing Ring Ouzel, Ptarmigan heard, then a Grasshopper singing at dusk in the Luib hotel car park! On 28th, another Ring Ouzel and more Ptarmigan were heard, Crossbills calling in the woods, and a Dipper and later Grey Wagtail on a small stream below the mountain. Common Sandpipers and Oystercatchers in several places along the rivers.
