A lovely sunny day with an early 6am start at Loch Garten for the Capercaillie watch. Having seen one briefly and distantly and having gone for a walk in Abernethy Forest it was back to the hotel for breakfast. We then went up CairnGorm for the second day in a row. We had seen Ptarmigan yesterday but got much better views today. You could see for at least 60 miles from the top.
Three poor photos of Osprey, Crested Tit and Red Throated divers.
16/4/2014 We drove from Fort William to Aviemore. We stopped at various places en route. We saw Ben Nevis, the caledonian Canal, Slavonian Grebes at loch Ruthven and Red Grouse along the road to Farr.
We got the ferry from Tobermory to Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. We visited the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and saw a pair of Golden Eagles on our journey towards the Corran ferry.
