Overcast, wet.
During journey: House Martin, Swallow, Carrion Crow and Pied Wagtail (on lochside).
A quick glimpse at a bird flying away upstream identified Grey Wagtail.
Returning from valley and a scan of nearby hills revealed a Kestrel.
At roadside a bird attacking crows could only be a Peregrine Falcon which then perched on a rock up on hillside and allowed views through telescope before flying off.
Whilst watching falcon a brownish bird flew down into valley and white rump identified female Wheatear.
