The Snow Roads (www.visitcairngorms.com/inspire-me/snowroads/ ) Scenic Route is a 144-km (90-mile) journey which takes you from the picturesque market town of Blairgowrie to the traditional Highland town of Grantown-on-Spey. The route traverses the highest public road in Britain taking you through some of the most outstanding landscapes in the eastern Cairngorms. The road links the communities of Braemar, Ballater and Tomintoul with a range of natural and cultural attractions. Three stunning Scenic Route Installations provide new opportunities to stop and explore this wild and beautiful highland countryside. A Cairngorms photo-post is also located at each installation to allow you to capture changes in the landscape. With such a range of activities for families, explorers and sightseers alike, take your time to relax with an overnight stay or two in your choice of accommodation along the way and stop at one of the many cafes and restaurants to sample some highland hospitality. Travel the scenic way on the Snow Roads North or South with the opportunity to link to many other areas in Scotland including Royal Deeside, the Malt Whisky Trail or the North Coast 500. The Snow Roads are slow roads. Take your time to enjoy the views, villages and attractions along the route. You will experience steep hills, ‘blind’ summits, tight bends and single-track roads in part so be sure to drive with care and courtesy. On narrow sections, please be aware of other drivers and use passing places to allow others to go by safely and continue on their journey. www.visitcairngorms.com/plan-your-visit/about-the-cairngo...

Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials.

Madrugar un poco, pasear, desconectar de la rutina y volver a casa con una foto medio decente, no tiene precio...
Medium sized lark with a prominent crest. Separated from the more range-restricted Thekla's Lark by longer bill with straight lower mandible and usually longer and spikier crest. Lots of variation in plumage color, which matches local soil types, but usually grayer and darker than Eurasian Skylark. Short tail and rust-tinged underwings obvious in flight. Found in dry areas with scarce vegetation, especially agricultural land and at roadsides. Song is an often magnificently long and highly impressive series of varied jumbled twitters, trills, warbles, and slurred notes. Often gives a plaintive “ch’wee.” (eBird)

When we saw this bird it had recently been split from Crested Lark to become the Maghreb Lark. Three years later it has been re-lumped with the Crested Lark. These scientific studies certainly play havoc with one's Life List and photo files.

"...The demeanor of the cactus wren is that of a creature which finds ample interest and enjoyment in life; especially is this true of the immature individuals. The birds of the summer brood remain together for several weeks after leaving the nest, and in little troops of three or four they come fearlessly about houses and perform all manner of clownish antics and acrobatics, all to the accompaniment of a rollicking chatter. I have seen one start from the seat of a wicker chair, run nimbly up the back and over the top, and hang head downward on the other side; often they race back and forth along the ridge of a building with exultant squawks, perhaps clinging to the edge of the roof and twisting their necks to peer underneath. Their curiosity is insatiable; everything must be climbed over, all packages, receptacles, cracks, and crannies looked into and anything inside pulled out if possible. Though the adults lose some of the frivolity, the attitude of good humor seems to remain, and quarrels are few. The only actual battle I recall seeing resulted when one immature bird attempted to bring material to a nest being built by another."
Mr. Dawson (1923)
