No 'proper' blog post today as I spent the weekend in Scotland. This was my first-ever visit to the country, which is shocking really as I used to go up to Northumberland two or three times a year when I was younger. You'd think at one point our parents would have taken us across the border.
I travelled up with my mum. We stayed in the village of Tomintoul in the Glenavon Hotel. The point of the visit was to see Black Grouse and Osprey, and we got both, so we were very happy. There were also bonus Red Grouse, Eurasian Curlew, Oystercatcher and tiny Northern Lapwing chicks. Mammals seen were Red and Roe Deer and Red Squirrel.
I'll be writing up a full report for the Birdwatch website and post a link on here.
