Yesterday on our epic 200k:
Early-morning twilight through Glen Isla revealed many Buzzards, a Kestrel, some furtive deer, and a Red Squirrel.
Nothing much during the day, as the wildlife hides from the fierce mid-day sun.
Evening twilight through Glenshee there was a large herd of deer down off the hills, an indicator of the approach of winter.
The stags were a little further up the glen, strutting about and bellowing.
Kind of like getting a skinfull in before going to chase the herd of girls lower down the glen, in the hope of a Sneaky Rut.
Got some good views of them against the sky, with their antlers on show.
In the dark along Glen Isla, an owl ( a barn owl most likely , according to our Wildlife Correspondant ) swooped across the road in front of us, caught in the bike lights.
And a bat at some point.
