Meall an Fhudair, started bright, drizzle later. Cool breeze. The higher munroes had some snow. A few Cuckoos.Greenshank & Golden Plover on the higher ground. Frogs spawning in a pool in a burn, not in the hill pools yet. Little growth of heather or grass. Few flowers. Primrose lower down. Violets, wood anemones & purple mountain saxifrage (I think).
A walk yesterday over familiar ground. A few notes and photos on the walkmap.
Walking with Christine & Michael, up Troisgeach and over to Meall an Fhudair. The first cuckoo & lizards of the year. No deer or ravens, and eagle or two. Ptarmigan & Wheatear. Surprisingly dry underfoot and the lack of growth made for easier walking. walkmap
