The Second day started with a nice drive up Deeside again and then off to the hill.
We spotted a heard and went after them. When we started to get close and were in our final stalk a group of walkers in the valley floor started making all kinds of noise and the heard was off. Unfortunately, I think that it was intentional.
The only way to get to them was to crawl up a burn fully exposed. We spent the next two hours crawling on our stomachs up a burn. For those that don't know a burn is a stream. Crawling up a burn in Scotland is quite damp! It was a miserable stalk, cold, wet, and by the time we were done my back and knees were killing me. But it was soon forgotten when I pulled the trigger. This is my first Royal and I will remember the stalk for a long time to come!
So pretty! Thanks for sharing!
