August 9th. In the woods near Loch Rannoch I saw a 

 great many siskins, crossbills, redpolls, etc. 



Near Carr Bridge, on the Spey, I saw a squirrel in a 

 small clump of alder bushes. 



At Rannoch Lodge there is a wild swan which was winged 

 two or three years ago, and now comes to the house to be fed, as 

 tame as any of the tame swans. 



At Inverness I saw with a bird stuffer a specimen of the rose- 

 coloured starling, just killed.
