Dotterel on the Cairngorms (1 Viewer)

Hello folks,

I'm well aware that Dotterels are breeding up on the Cairngorms, and I'm going to be taking a trip to the Aviemore/Loch Garten area at some point in the next few weeks. I was wondering, where exactly on the Cairngorms is the best to see them? There's been a definite passage of them towards there breeding grounds, with several reports in England a few in southern Scotland. When is it likely they will arrive?

Cheers if any of you can give me any info on this,

Joseph
 
The only place I've seen them is in the Lurcher's Gully area, about 1hrs walk from the top ski car park.
