Ardsheal Hill magic views over Loch Lhinnie

First walk of the short trip was welcomed after the drive north. Before dinner a quick trip up Ardsheal Hill. As the good lady was with me this had to be straightforward and this short hill was perfect.
We parked at the community centre, asked a posh lady if it was ok to be told park as far down there as you can!!  Through the gate behind the centre and there is a grassy ATV track that leads directly the mast, but cutting up following the faint  path through the heather. 35 minutes to the top. Delighted with the 360 degree views for little climbing discomfort although not sure good lady would agree. 
As we got ready in the car park a cuckoo called, my 2nd hearing this week. A pair of white tailed eagles, so low magnificent and some meadow pipits.

Looking back to the community centre where we heard the cuckoo across the road. The green track looks better than reality.

The track to the mast. Shortly after this snap I spotted coming over what I first thought was microlights or the the like but quickly realised the wing planks were sea eagles coming over from Morvern. They quickly flew over Kentallen heading towards Glencoe. 

Gap view as we climbed and snow clouds up north thankfully did not drop anything on us but fresh snow on the higher tops, what a long winter.

The mast is clear but as can be seen more snow showers in the distance.

More heavy weather looking south.

In poor weather the dyke could be used. From here the 2 sea eagles reappeared and were dived by something fast and coming from high up, a peregrine maybe. 
Also the cuckoo called and this time we spotted it in a nearby tree.
Overall a superb little walk, what a start.
