Whinchats have become more scarce at Geltsdale in recent years and this male sang distantly from one of the newly planted trees at the foot of Talkin Fell ...
... and on a small loch in the Cairngorms a male Goldeneye swam ...
... and approached a female in the shadow by the reedbed ...
... and not far away a pair of Red-throated Divers eventually showed nicely ...
... while the early arriving Ospreys were well into their breeding cycle ...
... and the guard bird was pereched nearby ...
... late snow patches remained up the glens as more recent snows cleared and a distant Redstart sang from a typically high point ...
... and back to the high Pennines where breeding waders were active with Dunlin ...
... and Golden Plovers ...
... and a lowland Curlew alarm called vociferously ...
... an ever-showy Stonechat perched up nicely ...
