Summary of Scottish Birding 4th – 12th October 2013
Our Scottish holiday took in a quick stopover at Montrose Basin, a visit to Loch of Strathbeg and environs and on our return a stopover at WWT Caerlaverock. In between we had three great days of birding in the Highlands in Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty and Moray. Over all the sites we saw a minimum of 84 species of bird as well as Common Seal, Red and Roe Deer, Red and Grey Squirrels and Stoat.
