Highlands Birds and Wildlife, April 2025

These photographs are from a visit to the Highlands from 3-8 April 2025, with David Rosair.. Based at the outstanding Tigh na Sgiath Country House Hotel, near Grantown on Spey, we visited a number of locations around the Cairngorm National Park, including Cairngorm itself, Loch Garten, Loch Insh and the Findhorn valley. Exceptional weather for Scotland made the landscape shine, but may have limited the number of birds showing.
