Dense forests of conifers only provided birds which are typical of any forests.
During the journey via Kinloch Rannoch: Buzzard (on marshy ground), Carrion Crow, Mistle Thrush.
Forest birds: Coal Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Wren, Siskin (large flocks), Woodpigeon, Jay, Bullfinch, Robin, Treecreeper, Song Thrush.
Many people on the paths ensured that the 'advertised' capercaillie, golden eagle and raven were never going to be seen, although about 1/2 mile up the road the Black Forest of Rannoch appeared to provide the trees and seclusion probably needed for capercaillies.
Further down at Rannoch Moor a Cormorant in second winter plumage was on one of the lakes.
2nd Day: 16 species, no new species.
