Today started with two House Martins perching on the gable end of a house in Kincraig where (judging by the mud on the wall) they appear to have nested before. Later in the morning, a walk around Loch Vaa produced records of Common Sandpiper, Oystercatcher, Goldeneye, Little Grebe and Black-headed Gull (the first four probably breeding). Chickweed Wintergreen was flowering there and in Boat of Garten Woods. Swifts were over Kincraig and Aviemore. Around 6pm an Osprey flew over Kincraig (probably heading for the nest opposite the Swan Chapel). This evening, Lapwing and Redshank had chicks near Mullochard and Wigeon, Teal and Greylag Goose had ducklings/goslings on a field pond near Duthill. Two Brown Hares and two Rabbits were in fields in Strathdulnain.

"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".
