An evening Badger-watching inStrathspey produced four animals appearing in broad daylight and pottering around the sett entrances before heading off into the fields to hunt. A little earlier, at least one pair of House Martins had begun nest building under the eaves of a cottage in the forest. At dusk, Woodcock were roding (and squeaking) high over the trees. A Brown Hare and two small bats were active as it got dark.
