Walked part of the Finlas Loop yesterday. Sparking hill day, snow. A lot of deer. Deer seem less inclined to run off in the winter. Fox track all over. A glimpse of an eagle, later watched for 10-15 minutes as it circled back and forth along the skyline above.

Doune Hill & Beinn Eich via Glen Mollochan
Overcast day with a threat of rain later.
Clouds low, on the top of the hill a few times. Quite a breeze higher up.
Quiet, no one else on the hill.
Not much in the way of wildlife, a few deer & the odd raven croak.

Finlas Again: Beinn Ruisg & Creag an Leinbh: A walk in the very low clouds yesterday. Strong contrast between the lower ground and the hills, spring has arrived but it is not evenly distributed. some photos and notes: walkmap.
Had a walk to Beinn Ruisg on Tuesday. First hill walk since last August. Some blues skies and horizontal snow.
a few notes and photos on the walkmap.
Heading for Meall an Fhudair, but very poor visibility so we turned back at Meall nan Caora just after Troisgeach. Still a great day, highlights lots of Scotch argus & a couple of eagles. Map: walkmap
I had a walk around Glen Douglas yesterday. Lots to see, more on the walkmap Missing from the photos are lots of Scotch Argus butterflies who did not stand still.
Had a walk along the pipetrack and up Slackdhu this afternoon. Bright & warm. Notes, photos and map: walkmap
First walk in a while over a couple of Glen Finlas hills. Even though we cut it short I was pretty puffed on the up! Saw my first snow bunting in the clouds.
