Amazing hill day....crisp clear views all round. Bit boggy start to route but good path higher up and good track through scree. Met one person on hill, same guy we had met on The Storr yesterday! Descent to the col was horrible, very steep, slippery scree. No track out through glen til quite far down but still a stunning day on the hill.

Saw grey wagtails and a cuckoo being chased by 2 smaller birds. Lot of sheep with lambs, some balanced quite precariously on the slopes of Glamaig. Several deer in glen. Eagle or fox pellets with white fur. Skylarks singing loudly :)
