A day spent around Pitlochry, Dunkeld and Blairgowrie produced a good inland total of 64 species. Highlights were twelve singing Wood Warblers, displaying Common Sandpipers and Grey Wagtails, Dippers feeding fledged young at two sites, Jays feeding young at one, a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers (I love finding this species on freshwater), calling Cuckoo and some other good migrants including Wheatear and Osprey. Some of the ones that got away were Stonechat, Whinchat and Peregrine (all seen/heard too briefly for a positive ID). One species that was notably missing was Lapwing with none seen all day. Of interest were two Song Thrushes incorporating Nuthatch song into their repertoire (two "real" Nuthatches were also recorded). Mammals consisted of Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Red Squirrel and Rabbit. Flowering plants included Wood Sorrel, Forget-me-not and lots of Cuckoo Flower.
