EAGLE CHICK LOCATION

Last year's Glen Tanar eagle chick seems to be enjoying the Loch Tilt area, more sedentary than of late. If you click on the pic, it should enlarge in your browser so you can see the dated location sequence. The 'updated' google sat image not too helpful though: wish they would spend more time on resolution, especially in rural areas, rather than 'streetview'.

ICELANDERS' VISIT

On 1st May, we received delegation from Iceland, including a municipal mayor from Hornafjardar, and the Chair and Director of Vatnajokull National Park.
They were particularly interested in how we link the natural and cultural heritage to the visitor experience.
Glen Tanar is particularly rich in heritage interest- with internationally important conservation areas- and so is a fantastic place for visitors to explore and enjoy.

Tree-planting students.

Last week, we were lucky to have help from a group of students.

They came to do some broad leaved tree-planting on the Juniper Trail. This trail is important habitat for butterflies and moths. We were planting oaks- food source for a wide range of insects, so adding to the bird life here.

The students are studying Countryside Management at SAC Craibstone, near Aberdeen.
