We woke up to snow. Greger wanted to drive up the Dirrie Mor to see if he should call off going to Inverness tonight (for his Spanish conversation class). The snow got deeper and crisper as we drove up from the loch-side and the hills looked really pretty, but the road was clear.
Looking towards the Fannichs across Loch Droma:
We had a walk across Loch Glascarnoch dam. A stonechat was seen along the fence, flying down to perch on loch-side boulders.
Back near the car in a snow shower a dunnock was feeding along the shoreline with a male stonechat (perhaps the one above), and this female stonechat.
Three hooded crows flew over and a raven was heard in the distance; but the 26 whooper swans we saw here last time we drove past (including at least two juveniles) seemed to have moved on.
