Today was another 30,000 step day due to a long walk along the Rob Roy Way between Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. First notable birds of the day were Canada Goose and Nuthatch near Pitlochry Theatre. The walk up through Forest produced a couple of Common Crossbills, a large dragonfly, an interesting stone circle and a good selection of butterflies including Ringlet, Scotch Argus and Spotted Wood. The grassland south of there had Common Frogs, a Common Lizard and Peacock, Meadow Brown and probable Dark Green Fritillary and Large White butterflies. The walk along the river from Grandtully produced Monkswood, Dipper, Grey Wagtail and Spotted Flycatcher. The day began and ended with Swifts: eighteen over first thing and twelve over in the evening.

"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".
