Another day spent in the Aviemore area. Highlight of a morning walk from Boat of Garten to Aviemore was a newly fledged Spotted Flycatcher at Dalfaber. Regular passes from a steam train on the Broomhill line was also good.
This evening, a circuit of sites between Coylumbridge and Boat of Garten produced 100 Jackdaws at Drumintoul, Osprey and Buzzard at Drumchork, two Tufted Ducks on Loch Piyoulish, a singing Yellowhammer just before the turn-off to Kincardine Cottage, 100 Lapwings at West Croftmore and 40 Swifts over the car park at Loch Garten. A vole ran across in front of the car at Tulloch Moor.
Birds at the resort included Collared Dove and Siskin.
