The Trossachs

On Wednesday, we had an excellent trip, with Mike and Judith, to the Trossachs and more specifically Stronachlachar (the Pier café is recommended) and Loch Katrine.

Loch Katrine

A pleasant walk resulted in a range of sightings including Redstart, Spotted Flycatcher, Blackcap and Osprey. There were also large numbers of hirundines including some Swallows still feeding young .....


We also saw a good few butterflies that tried hard not to be photographed but, eventually, I managed a shot of this Scotch Argus ......

 
Leaving Loch Katrine we drove alongside Loch Arklet and this young Whinchat showed for a few moments before flying off ...
 
 
We finished with a well deserved ice cream in Aberfoyle; a nice end to a beautiful day out and amazingly, no midges!
