Had a great day yesterday walking at Strathdearn on the upper river Findhorn. Saw a red squirrel sitting in a hedge a couple of meters away from me quite unafraid.
Two separate sightings of golden eagles riding the thermals and a herd of around thirty red deer kept me entertained whilst I had dinner.
Red grouse and an arctic hare made an appearance on the way back to the car park and watching two stoats fighting on the road for a few minutes was a first, good job they don’t get any bigger !!
Makes a change from sheep and coo’s anyway
Andy.
