Pitlochry held a good selection of typical birds today including Dipper, Grey Wagtail, Collared Dove, Tufted Duck, Mute Swan, House Martin and Moorhen. Unfortunately i failed to see any Swifts at this normally reliable location. I did hear Swift calls on my way up to The Cuilc, but I suspect they were being played by one of the houses lining the road in an attempt to entice the species to breed. Strathspey proved to be much better for this species with around 35 birds feeding oiver the Aviemore to Grantown-on-Spey road late in the afternoon. Then around 9pm, thirty birds (possibly the same) were in an extremely compact flock high over the centre of Grantown-on-Spey before they separated into smaller flocks to feed and scream over the town.
