Rothiemurchus set off north after 8am on 26th April and by 10am was approaching the Mersey; 4 hours later he was just south of Carlisle. He flew a more westerly route through the Borders and roosted in a wood near Solgirth, south of Dollar. On 27th he moved north at 6am, at 8am was southof Amulree and by 11am was back in the Dunkeld/Pitlochry area, where he settled last summer. During the 27th and 28th he ranged through 250 square km looking for a mate and a nest. Let’s hope he settles down as soon a spossible and breeeds successfully.
Last leg – 26th – 28th April
