With heavy snow having fallen in the Cairngorms for the first time this winter, a flying visit seemed a good idea. A Red Deer and several Red Grouse were visible near Drumochter. Nine Snow Buntings were unperturbed by the weather as they fed on seed put out for them by photographers in the skiers' car park. Lower down, Crested Tits, Crossbills and a Red Squirrel were in the forest. Star of the show however was the weather - blue skies, strong sunshine and the Narnia-like combination of fresh powdery snow and pine forest.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
