Great Spotted Woodpecker
Green Woodpecker

Mammals:
Deer
Hedgehog

Has anyone been to the Strathspey Badger Hide?

Have a read of IanF report it is 3 year old but we did go again this year and saw almost the same at the locations.

For Crestie and GSW we have yet to fail at Loch Morlich. Have seen Common Crossbill in the trees at the car park entrance to Loch Garten. Might be worth before you go listening to a recording of their calls and then at lest you know you have found some.

For Deers the Findhorn Valley you can get reasonably close.

I have put a link to 25 reports that BF members have made in this area...it will be well worth a look through them for some locations.
