Perthshire- Crieff and Muthill
Red kite (milvus milvus) flying between electric power lines near Amulree, Perthshire. Red kites have been reintroduced into three areas in Scotland and are spreading slowly across the country.
The need to transmit electricity from highland wind farms has necessitated the building of a huge new power line 220km from Beauly to Denny, replacing 109km of older lines, including this one.
There is some evidence of bird mortality due to collisions with power lines, which may be reduced by the increased diameter of the new lines, making them more visible.

Glenshee - Ptarmigan in Winter
The winter of 2007 provided adequate snow cover for skiing at the time of our visit. This was not the case all winter, but in 2008 the snow cover lasted much longer.
