By spending a few hours in decent weather at various locations at Loch Maree you stand a good chance of finding both your targets. North of the road at Bridge of Grudie is best in the sheltered spots behind the trees. Large Heath butterfly also present. The scenery is fantastic and well worth the drive. I think the site Dave Ball is describing is called Slatterdale, which is also very good. As stated, Northern Damselfly is present on the large pool as you travel to Loch Garten Visitor Centre, along the actual road that goes by the Centre, from the Boat of Garten direction. It is partly hidden by vegetation so lookout for the wooden broadwalk on your right.  For White Faced Darter go past the Loch Garten Visitor Centre and look for a small pool on your right just before the Tee Junction. It also has a small wooden broadwalk.</blockquote>
