Today began with Collared Doves singing in the centre of Aviemore. Shortly after that, up to twelve Swifts began screaming around the rooftops, possibly prospecting for next year's breeding sites. An early morning walk produced all the usual highland village birds plus Rabbit, Roe Deer and potentially Otter (providing only a tantalisingly brief view). Heading south, 27 Fallow Deer were at Dunkeld.
