Today started with a Kingfisher under the Broomhll bridge and continued with  visit to a Black-headed Gull colony in the Cairngorms. Most of the gulls had already left but there were still two juveniles, two downy chicks and a handful of adults remaining. Other good birds included Tufted Duck with br8, Crested Tit and a White-tailed Eagle soaring in the sunshine. In the afternoon I visited Coire an Lochain, picking up Meadow Pipit, Wheatear, Red Grouse and Grey Wagtail. Plants included Cloudberry in fruit. This evening I found some past-its-best Twinflower (peak flowering time is midsummer) and watched three Pine Martens raiding a garden feeding station.
