    For ducks and divers you can look at places like Nairn, Burghead, lossiemouth. Burghead and Lossie would need a bit of planning for public transport. Nairn is on main Inverness to Aberdeen line. Good seafront for what your looking for. When you thinking of heading up? My stomping ground so might...

    Morning Vipers, view from either point. I was up the valley same time as John and had the Goldies and WTE from the midway point, just a different view! Farr road is a beautiful drive and good for Red Grouse, however I have not had many eagles from there, best down in the valley. Like John a...

    Just too far to go for a peek. Got brilliant views when it was at Loch Fleet in January (have a squint at the pics on my blog) Very confiding bird. Any dates for your trip across this neck of the wood yet?

    Three sightings of at least two individual Golden Eagles from top car park Findhorn valley, couldn't discount one bird doubling back on itself and re-appearing but my hunch is for three individuals. All juv birds.

    Hi Caper, where did you get them at the Cabrach? I had a nice lek many many moons ago but no matter how many times I drive the road I can never find the same spot! All I can remember it was in a sheep field near a ruined building right beside the road...... ring any bells? Dave

    Hi Joseph, 0800 ish is about max time, unless a more regular visitor to the screen can offer better timings. I had the lone male calling/displaying at the Farr road at 1930 recently so a later vist to Tulloch might be a choice, once again a local birder may have better info. Hope that helps. Dave

    Hi Joseph. Was speaking to a birder yesterday who had two males still lekking at the screen on Friday. Good luck! Dave
