Killiecrankie

I got the offer of a trip to Faskally to paint some caravan decking so accepted and went to the Pass of Killiecrankie looking for Wood Warblers and Pied Flycatchers instead. I did see one Wood Warbler but I had to spend what seemed like a lifetime looking before getting a decent but brief view. The paths were a bit busy but I also found a Nuthatch on one of the side paths and a Spotted Flycatcher on it's favourite perch. During my trip which was in good conditions I covered 6 miles and only saw two butterflies, both Ringlets.
