Friday, October 3, 2008

A real change in the weather this last few days - the first snows topped Cairn Gorm, Braeriach and friends on Friday morning (3rd Oct). However, the colder weather has done nothing to put off the wildlife as the following photos taken by our guests Margaret and Paul Withers show!

In addition, our guided walk on Monday provided great views of a female Capercaillie - standing as still as a statue about 100 metres distant, but still looking bonny with her bright scarlet breast and mottled brown plumage!




Meanwhile, guests on the Red Deer Rut safari have reported seeing up to 300 Red Deer at a time, as well as other wildlife such as Red Grouse, Mountain Hare (see image!) and even the dreaded Mink!


Paul's images are being entered into our Guests Photography Competition for 2008. If you stayed with the BWWC in our first year and have some memorable images, then please do send them in - the winner will get a complimentary two-night stay at the Hotel for two people in 2009.

Well worth the effort, wouldn't you say?

Exploring the different species of wild life in the environment is just a great way of enjoying nature. Bird watching and viewing other exotic creatures are amazing ways to have fun in nature.
