29 April - Fantastic sunny weather in Scotland, and several excellent birds seen in Glen Quoich and on a walk up Gairich. A Wood Warbler (4) was singing in the birchwoods alongside the road and showed very well. A Golden Eagle (3) appeared briefly over Gairich, mobbed by a Raven. Wheatears were fairly common, and on the walk down I flushed a male Red Grouse then, even better, a male Black Grouse (2,3) that perched obligingly on a rock before flying off. I took the Wood Warbler and the Red Grouse photos in Scotland last year. The Black Grouse shots are with the 200mm lens and greatly cropped.
