    Nice run today, stuck to the paths/row but took a rarely visited hanging valley but loads of young birds around and a few predators.

    must have seen 10-15 golden plovers, similar number of curlews and Pipets. Grouse every where
    20+ mountain Hares, 3 big Buzzards and given it's location a short eared owl.

    and if you read the papers we found a lesser spotted Helicopter that ditched yesterday on Howden just off the HPM route. all ok though...

    a Buzzard and (and I'm not Joking) what must have been 50-60 Hares, they were every where.

    Pair of White-Tailed Sea Eagles. One on the nest, one in a tree. Scarba - next door to Jura.

    Also a mountain hare which appeared to be ascending the 2nd Jura Pap quicker than I was descending!
