14 May - A brief morning birdwatch before travelling home - firstly no sign of the White-billed Diver reported recently at Burghead, in rough sea conditions, but 20+ Common Scoter seen, also Guillemot, Kittiwake and Gannet. At Lochindorb a Black-throated Diver present and a Golden Plover displaying on the moorland. Goldeneyes and several Common Sandpipers seen on the lochs around Aviemore, but no Slavonian Grebes found. Finally the female Osprey (2) incubating on the famous nest at Loch Garten RSPB reserve. A Red Kite and a Sparrowhawk over the A96 near Inverness. I took the photo (1) of Loch Morlich in 2005.
