Rothiemurchus Forest

A lovely sunny morning in The Cairngorms. A biking day through the beautiful Rothiemurchus Forest. One of the glories of the Cairngorms are the ancient Caledonian Pine Forest. The largest tracts of Caledonian Pine in the British Isles and it's on our doorstep. Looking particularly fine in the beautiful Autumn colours. Another windy day, even at lower altitudes. A spot of birdwatching along the way. The Crested Tit is one of the species of birds that live in these forests. Today I spotted about 10 of them. A couple of days ago I was staring at one of these guys, less than 1 metre away, perched in a tree at eye level but my camera was stuck in the bag!
