A much wetter and much milder day in Glasgow today.
Some reflections on yesterday's Badenoch and Strathspey trip:
It's distinctly colder, with little wind on this occasion.
The first dusting of snow is evident on the high tops.
There is still quite a lot of colour in the landscape with the Larches orange, the Birches and Aspens yellow and patches of green grass among the straw-coloured. 
Flowers are becoming very scarce with only a few residual patches of Ragwort and  and a few isolated flowers of some other species. 
The skies are quite busy with corvids shuttling here and there, noisy skeins of Greylag Geese passing over, occasional raptors on the hunt and small groups of Redwings and Fieldfares moving through.
Birdsong is sparse with only Robin actually singing but lots of other species staying in touch with a variety of squeaks and chirps. 
Some species have "flocked up", notably tits, Siskin and Redpoll.
The really big winter flocks of wildfowl (Whooper Swan, Mallard, Wigeon and Teal) don't appear to have formed yet.
Flying insects are still present, mainly craneflies and similar, with the butterflies and dragonflies of earlier in the year seemingly now gone.
