After the previous days exhausting activities we decided on a bit of a rest day, so we had a drive to Glen Esk, then a quick walk up to Loch Lee, stunning weather yet again and somehow Margie managed to find another Castle! She's like a castle magnet! On the bird front, Spotted Flycatcher was probably the highlight, good views of Bullfinch, loads of Song Thrushes, Sand Martins and Housemartins collecting mud were also fun to watch! Had a very distant Osprey from a carpark as well!! There may have been a Wheatear as well, I hardly noticed! Some of Margie's scenery pics followed by a few Bird pics by me, oh alright I will put a couple of Wheatear ones in if you insist!!!

 |
| Young Song Thrush, lots of these seen as well |
 |
| Pied Wagtail |

| Despite what Margie says, there is no such thing as too many pictures of a Wheatear |
 |
| Housemartin, gathering mud, don't often get a chance at these so filled me boots! |
