10 June 2013 - Loch of the Lowes, Perthshire
Had an evening trip out to the Loch of the Lowes this evening - prime target was either Otter or Beaver. After a wait of 30 minutes, sure enough, out swims this European Beaver. As the volunteer warden in the hide had only seen Otter on three occasion sin five years I decided to head out moth trapping - and saw a wonderful Badger in the daylight just NE of Pitlochry.
