A hastilly-organised trip to the Cairngorms benefited from dry weather from start to finish. A brief stop in Aviemore produced the usual Oystercatchers, Collared Doves, Rooks, Jackdaws, Sand Martins and a single Common Sandpiper. The remainder of the day was spent walking from the skiers' car park to the plateau via Lurcher's Crag. Some of the birding highlights included a pair of Ring Ouzels feeding young in a small Scots Pine tree, a Ptarmigan chick on the path, accompanied by a female making the "broken wing" distraction display and a male Snow Bunting singing from the crags at the top of Coire an Lochain. Some of the plants seen along the way (moving from the car park to the top) included Dwarf Cornel, Cloudberry, Tormentil, Lesser Spotted Orchid, Thrift, Alpine Lady's Mantle, Stagshorn Clubmoss and Moss Campion.
