| Few wetland birds are as magnificent as the Lapwing |
THE high Cairngorms village of Tomintoul may not be on the radar of many birders, but it is an important breeding season habitat for wetland species.
Just outside the settlement is countryside dedicated, as part of the Peesie Project, to encouraging species such as Lapwings and Curlews to breed.
There is a hide which often provides excellent views of the birds, sometimes in close-up, and for those observers wanting to stay until nightfalls, a dark sky discovery site is just a few steps away.

Definitely a village worth exploring

| Magnificent scenery all around |

This redshank was a little tricky to spot

| Oystercatchers sunning themselves on a corrugated iron roof |

| Read all about it? RSPB Scotland are on board with the project |

Two places well worth visiting

| The beautiful Lapwing is a bird always worth more than one look |
