The barriers at the entry to Glencharnoch Wood on Station Road (the furthest entrance) have been removed to improve accessibility & create a more welcoming environment. Previously, individuals with pushchairs were unable to pass through the old barriers. #carrbridgenature

From Duncan our Community Ranger: The skies around us have been restless with geese in recent days as the urge to migrate north gets ever stronger. There is a great German word for this urgency – zugunruhe. Geese numbers are building before their extraordinary journey to Iceland.

From Duncan our community ranger: "Looking for tracks and signs is a great activity for all the family and if there is no snow look on the muddy edges of paths and puddles or sand on the river’s edge." #Carrbridge #CairngormNature

From Duncan our community ranger: There have been huge flocks of Redwings over Carrbridge in recent days, a clear herald of Autumn. There are usually good numbers of Fieldfares most years but only seen a couple so far. Perhaps it isn’t cold enough yet. Keep alert to their arrival

[Carrbridge Nature @CarrbNature]

From Duncan our community ranger: We are fortunate, in Badenoch & Strathspey, to share the landscape with Golden Eagles. White-tailed Eagles are also becoming more frequently seen to add to the excitement. Imagine my surprise to see both species over Carrbridge in the last 2 wks

From Duncan, Carrbridge Community Ranger: Crossbills are notoriously tricky to separate by sight, even with great views or in the hand! They are marvellous inhabitants of the rich forests around us & autumn is a great time to get out & have a look/listen for them. @CNPnature
