Ben Vrackie, Pitlochry

A hillwalk with "the bairns" who aren't known for their stealth. It wasn't a bird finding trip but some stayed around briefly.

Top photo is of an unexpected find, a Dotterel very near the summit of Ben Vrackie. It's not very clear but it flew off before I could set up the camera. Also 2 Ravens, 1 Kestrel and a Buzzard along with a few Meadow Pipits.
