Corrie to Coast and a few birds inbetween

A few photos from the last period of decent weather spanning from Easthaven where I did my Webs count on Sunday through to Glen Clova where the recent floods have taken a toll on the bank at the car park and the bridge upstream from Moulzie which has been destroyed. Access to Bachnagairn is now along the south bank of the river joining the track from the ford at Moulzie, this route isn't a structured path and is for the sure footed.

Frogs courting, Ravens in pairs and a Peacock Butterfly, the first true signs of spring.


Looking west from the footbridge at the top of the riverside path which starts at the west end of the car park and picnic area at the Ranger Centre, Glen Clova


The first Common Frog we've found this year, mum I think


I think this one's a male and was in a pool with about a dozen more


The only spawn we found


Golden Eagle adult which was never close and flying above the tops


Same eagle admiring its domain from on high


What was the bridge upstream of Moulzie where the footpath crossed


The Kinnordy Loch Black-headed Gull raft, not pretty but if it works then perhaps other rafts could be placed in the areas not visible from the main hide


First and last Red Squirrel photo unless I get something very unusual


Wigeon drake at Kinnordy


One of eight Stock Doves seen near Easthaven while doing my Webs count
