thanks. I shall send prayers to gods of sunshine and blue skies especially for you. Birds are never obliging. September has been nice weather the last couple of years so hopefully you won't bring that Yorkshire misery north with you hehe. Where are you headed?
Doing East Coast initially as we've never done that side ...would like to see Dolphins at Chanonry Point if you can schew them down there, please. Then off up North and North West of Altnaharra ....depending on weather. We've done a lot of the West Coast over the years but it MAY still draw us back when we start to return to Yorkshire.
Many years ago we went to look at the Ospreys at Loch Garten. We parked a ways down the road and enjoyed sightings of SlavonianGrebes on Loch Morlich before trekking off through the wartleberry looking for Capercailiie. After an hour of wandering, which included almost treading on a female Capercaillie hiding in undergrowth which then exploded into the trees (that's when we saw several sat in trees watching us...didn't expect big bird like that up there!) we somehow managed to arrive at the back of the reserve with everyone watching us. A bit embarrassing ...but got some good views of the Ospreys.
