Well it's not the best time of year for birdwatching in woods, but since work sent me to Aviemore, a weekend in Aviemore and Boat of Garten seemed like a thing to do. The ospreys had fucked off to Africa, the crossbills were nowhere to be seen and I heard but didn't see crested tits (well I may have seen a *glimpse* but not so's it counts.)

But anyway,( the weekend list )
Also chickens, turkeys and white ducks!

Which makes my life list 85 - or 83 if you don't count free range fowl :-)

Plus I had a pleasant weekend walking in woods and mostly being on my own, which I would love to be able to do more often, especially when the woods include red squirrels - not to mention the chance to catch a steam train as the actual practical and sensible way to get to a place I was going.
