31 Snow Buntings and a Stonechat were in the skiers' car park on Cairngorm this morning. The Stonechat, a male, was in its rather subdued winter plumage (pale orange breast, dark grey face and dull brown back) - presumably feather-wear will reveal its spring colours in due course. Another Stonechat, two Crested Tits and a distant Golden Eagle were seen on the way down to Glenmore. The day had started with a walk around Aviemore. Rooks were active at their colony and there were Redwings and Fieldfares in the woods by the Youth Hostel. Glenmore held most of the species typically associated with a Highland village in winter including two flyover Siskins.
