Bird Camp Reunion - Speyside
5 June 2026
Today, after arriving in Aviemore, we had dinner and headed to Glenmore, on the Loch Morlich shore, for a bat walk, led by bat expert, James. Before it got dark, we saw some Black-headed Gulls, some Mallards with young, and a Common Sandpiper.
After walking along the shore for a bit, we entered the forest, where we started seeing our first bats. Using our bat detectors, we identified them as Common Pipistrelles. Despite getting massacred by the midges, we contiued on to a small bridge over a stream, where we were lucky enough to spot 2 Woodcocks rudding. We also heard (kind of) a Sopranno Pipistrelle, and a Daubenton's Bat.
Some members of the group saw what they thought was a Beaver, so they headed off to search for it. When we found them again, they had seen gotten reasonable views of the Beaver.
