The remains of Tigh nan Saighdearan, or the "Soldiers' House", the tiny Jacobite-era barracks in a seriously remote but strategically important location west of Loch Arkaig, controlling a significant route across the western Highlands.

We had beauty, good weather, great views, and Glas Bheinn, #LochArkaig to ourselves today. #Fionas offer some great days out.

This support for Loch Arkaig is just fantastic news for the west Highlands and all of Scotland. Potentially one of the finest remnants of ancient pine wood receiving some serious investment. A real community effort involved to get to this stage - chapeau Arkaig Community Forest, Woodland Trust and Achnacarry Estate.

First toot!
Sunday out on the #LochArkaig art trail, recently built by the Arkaig Community Forest and Woodland Trust. Well worth a visit.
Can you spot the lynx...?

It’s rare now to see three members of the #osprey family together. I can’t tell which is which now and whether there are still four members in the family. I also like this #capture because it catches the #sunset.

What’s going on here this morning? It looks like this crow (or is it a raven?) is on the #osprey #nest while one of the ospreys looks on from nearby. I guess that the interloper is looking for #grubs and #insects to feed on and is thereby serving to clean the nest of #parasites. I presume that’s why its presence is being tolerated.

Update: while the #nest is full of empty #Ospreys, we have an interloper sneaking about.

This may not look like the most exciting #picture in the world because it appears to show an empty #nest but the #osprey seen in the upper left corner just flew to that branch. I don’t know if it was the #chick's actual maiden flight but now both have developed the ability to fly.

The #Osprey #chicks are now juveniles and no doubt will be able to fly soon.

Wow, those two surviving #osprey #chicks are getting big. They’ve probably got a decent chance of reaching maturity, I reckon.

Mixed news from the #Osprey #Nest in #Scotland. Two #chicks are thriving and growing up fast but one died a few days ago. I could be very wrong but I when I tried to find out when the death had occured, I thought I saw that the parents were feeding the dead chick to the surviving two. If so, I had no idea they engaged in #cannibalism.

Within the last couple of hours, the last of the #ospreay #eggs has hatched and so this pair of parents has a full brood now. I don’t know what the chances of the last #chick are since it will lag behind the others by several days. I guess the first few days are the crucial ones.
