Odds and Ends, North of the Border........

5-6 June - A short Munro trip, and a few birds logged - a Golden Eagle soaring briefly, to the north of the Dalmally peaks, and Wheatears and Meadow Pipits widespread here, also a Sand Martin colony on the hillside above Loch Awe. Meall Dearg at Aonach Eagach held a singing Ring Ouzel and a couple of Stonechats. Grey Wagtails logged at both areas, and a Spotted Flycatcher calling by Loch Leven. Quite a quiet time of the year, the breeding season in full swing.
