High Glenamour Loch 3rd Dec 2011

Still catching up…

A showery day, we decided on a walk at the back of Kirroughtree Forest to High Glenamour Loch. Not far from the car park we came accross a flock of Long Tailed Tits and then further in about 30 Lesser Redpolls were feeding on the path.

We made an attempt to walk right around the loch but it got muddier and muddier so we had to retrace our steps
