Osprey!!

Today, after yesterday's epic journey up and down Herder's Hill, we
took it easy and went to Boat of Garten. The resident birds flew on
Wednesday but I spotted the lone male we'd heard of in chatter here
and there: magnificent!

Timmy concentrated on studying the closer birdlife - especially a fine
coal tit - and mammals, including a red squirrel. That was the second
one of the day for me: Crocs on a spongy forest floor are very quiet
so I got within 1.5 metres of a fine looking one equipped with a bushy
tail and a nut to store, this morning.

It is genuinely cold at night. It will be very cold up top, but we'll
have a go and see how things are when we get there.
