Just returned from a few days in Nethey Bridge. We stayed at a great self catering for two at Balliefurth Farm, just outside of the village.
The weather was not too bad, most days calm with some sunshine some days. We even managed to get up the mountain on a clear day. There is still snow which made it very picturesque.
This was my favourite day as we found 3 Ptarmigan and a pair of Dotterel just scanning from the viewing area at the restaurant at the top.
Crested Tits were easy to find and if we had struggled you could always see them on the feeders at the Osprey Centre, if you waited a while they always came.
A Capercaille was showing very near to the road from the village most of the days we were there.
