My heart's in the Highlands - and this evening, the rest of me is here too. Managing to squeeze in a short trip to Strathspey before going back to work on Monday. Drove to Aviemore this afternoon, the highlight of the trip being an Osprey soaring over the motorway near Bannockburn. Drove straight to the ski car park, but the only birds on show were a few Meadow Pipits and Pied Wagtails. Then, had a wander around the Dell of Rothiemurchus (highlights being two Buzzards, a Great spotted Woodpecker and a Long tailed Tit), before settling into Rothiemurchus campsite. Sitting under the stars right now. .

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
