Cairngorms

Loch Dubh

It was quite late when I arrived here at the outflow from Loch Dubh. About 9.30 pm if I remember rightly. As I moved towards the edge of the water I heard a whoosh above and looked up to see a large bird zooming back above after a dive. I was later advised that it must have been a Golden Eagle with young to protect. I watched as it flew over to the far side of the loch and slope soared to a small spec above the craggs. If it was indeed a Golden Eagle I can only feel honoured to have had the close encounter.

Here is a map that shows the area ...
