A great day out in Perth and Kinross began with a walk around Portmoak Moss near Scotlandwell. Lots of birds were present, the most notable being a Spotted Flycatcher feeding at least two fledged young, a calling Nuthatch, six species of finch and five of warbler.  During a breakfast break, at least 16 Swifts were swirling over Milnathort. Heading north to Hill of Condie, two Wheatears and a family of Pheasants were between Newhill and Golloch Hill. Birds on Condie and nearby Clow Hill included a boisterous family party of six Ravens, another family of fledged Spotted Flycatchers, a Little Grebe with two large chicks plus Jay, Buzzard and lots of Redpolls. A Common Lizard and a Green Lacewing were beside the path down to Clow Bridge. Commonest bird along the Water of May was Meadow Pipit. Nearer to Path of Condie, Swallows, Pied Wagtails and House Martins indicated the farm ahead and a single Tree Sparrow was on the path.
