13/02/17. White-tailed Eagle, Whooper Swans and finally Capercaillie

Monday 13 February 2017

A tough day today despite the splendid weather.

Another fruitless search for Capercaillie, this time at Feshie Bridge.

At Findhorn valley, Gareth lifted our spirits when he spotted the long-staying White - tailed Eagle.  We then enjoyed spectacular views of this stunning bird.  It was having an altercation with a Buzzard which looked minute in comparison.

At long last we found the Capercaillie in the woods near Carrbridge.  Unfortunately I was one of 2 who dipped on this.  The views were brief but there was a male and female present. It was a re-run of my experience just over 2 weeks ago but then I was one of the ones who won the raffle.

On the way back to Nethy Bridge we saw 10 Whooper Swans on the Spey.



We worked hard today to dig out a brilliant result!
