A short trip to Strathspey began with a stop-off in Pitlochry. The high water level meant that few birds were at the dam. however a break in the clouds brought a range of hoverflies and a Mining Bee (probably Grey-banded) to the flower borders at the Festival Theatre. A tour of some of the Speyside Fields for Wildlife sites produced plenty more pollinators plus House Martins, Swifts, a flock of Siskins and two Great Spotted Woodpeckers. An early evening visit to Loch Insh and Insh Marshes added Goldeneye, Osprey, Canada Goose, Greylag Goose, Oystercatcher, Grey Heron and Brown Hare. The evening ended with a party of Swifts screaming high above the centre of Aviemore.
