The regular flock of Greylag Geese was near West Ferry first thing this morning. Heading home, a line of ducks off Langbank were presumably the Goldeneye known to gather there to moult. Best sighting however was an Osprey "stalling" over Longhaugh Point.
Passing through Hillington Industrial Estate, a pair of Swallows were attending four fledged young on a factory roof.

Some impressions of Strathspey in August:
It's colourful (with Heather flowering, grasses yellowing and berries ripening)
It's quiet (at least in places - with large areas of forest completely quiet, but a few favoured areas full of calling birds)
Its full of flying insects
It's deserted (at least once you leave the main attractions).
