It was a damp and rainy day in Badenoch today. I decided to
walk through the Kinrara Estate with the intention of listening for calling
Green Woodpecker. However the only woodpeckers I found were two Great Spotteds.
Other birds in the area included two Woodcock and plenty of singing thrushes
(nine Mistle and two Song). The Bogach held Goldeneye, Tufted Duck, Greylag
Goose, Mallard and a family party of four Whooper Swans. The walk ended in
Aviemore with two Rabbits in the horse field at the High Range roundabout. The
total bird and mammal list for the two days was as follows: Greylag Goose,
Whooper Swan, Mallard, Teal, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Pheasant, Feral Pigeon,
Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Curlew,
Woodcock, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Golden Eagle,
Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Tawny Owl, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jackdaw, Rook,
Carrion Crow, Carrion x Hooded Crow, Raven, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit,
Long-tailed Tit, Goldcrest, Wren, Treecreeper, Starling, Song Thrush, Mistle
Thrush, Blackbird, Robin, Dipper, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Pied Wagtail,
Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Greenfinch, Lesser Redpoll, Goldfinch, Siskin, Snow
Bunting, Rabbit, Brown Hare and Feral Goat (51 birds and three mammals).
