A walk around the centre of Dunkeld this afternoon produced eighteen bird species (including one hybrid), one butterfly species (Peacock) and one mammal (Fallow Deer). Best bird species were Nuthatch (almost always present near the Cathedral), Kingfisher (my first for the site - a bird watched fishing from a dead tree on the "island" east of the bridge), a Hoodie x Carrion Crow hybrid and a calling juvenile Buzzard. No gulls were present and Swift, House Martin and Sand Martin were also absent. Presumably the gulls had long finished their breeding/summering attempts, but the absence of the latter three species is more worrying. House Martins used to nest on the buildings overlooking the main street but today I could find only two long-abandoned nests. The Fallow Deer are regular at this site. I assume they are feral animals kept by the hotel to the west of the town. Today, the herd consisted of three mature stags (with palmate antlers), four immature stags (with spiked antlers), three fawns and fourteen hinds. All animals had mid- to dark brown or grey-brown coats except a single hind which was creamy white and three further hinds which were lighter brown with pale spots.
