25:00 My wife and I had exactly this experience on Beinn Sgulaird a few years ago- except we never saw any birds. It was similar weather. Out of nowhere it sounded like loads of wings sweeping overhead- but neither of us saw a thing in clear weather. I always assumed it was a rotor vortex from an airplane wing gradually dropping onto us.

Amazing commitment Murray and awesome summary for the potential to experience an inversion. Beautiful. My experiences have been more luck than judgement. Always magical and very rewarding when leading a group who have never seen such natural wonders as fogbows and broken spectres. Have also experienced the flock of birds syndrome. Usually racing pigeons who rise to avoid the cloud and fast , hence the sudden noise. Fantastic video.

Excellent as always! On the night of Friday 1-2 November, I was camping outside our club hut above Coniston in the Lake District. Early in morning I heard a noise just like yours which lasted a surprisingly long time. I don't recall hearing this before. I fdecided it must have been a flock of small birds. Somebody who stayed inside the hut (cottage) almost persuaded me it was a big owl as there's known to be one around. Hearing your recording, I've gone back to the flock of birds theory.

You make high level camping look so good yet when I was doing it, it was uncomfortable cold and just a means to an end. You get terrific camera footage. I have been on these mountains twice , once in winter and also in summer. Can remember falling out with a farmer on the way in due to having two dogs going through his farm going onto Tulaichean first then Ardrain and clambering over Stob Binnien to miss a confrontation with the farmer again. Those were the days. Thank you again for bringing it all back to me. Another fabulous video.

@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks Murray. A quick update on my comment. Just a day after I watched your video, I did Ben Cruachan, and it just blew my mind, there's no other words to describe it. The inversion in Glencoe was just over Rannoch Moor. This time it was all around, as far as the eye could see. People were just sitting on the summit and watching in complete silence. Clouds were sitting at just over a 1000 metres, the other tops on both sides were visible, but Stob Daimh, which is 999 metres metres, was covered. I was texting with my wife at home, she was seeing fog and drizzle through the window, and I was basking in beautiful sun. Hopefully I'll get to see it again at some point, but this was the first time for me, on munro number 37.

Stunning footage, Murray, and brings back so many memories of inversions, both in Scotland and Cumbria. Particularly loved the backlit drone footage. Re the birds - I've had that quite a few times and particularly at this time of year, there's a lot of birds on the move, migrating, and they often fly at quite a height. Easier for them to navigate above the cloud too, I should think. Usually you can see a flock coming but you were understandably distracted by talking to camera, but from the sound of the calls I could hear on the video, it sounded like geese maybe? If birds sideslip over a hill or a ridge like that, you can often hear the wind in their wings which can be a spooky sound. Anyway, enough waffling. Great stuff as always.

I caught a nice inversion last winter from Bennachie (Mither Tap) believe it or not. Cloud was at sea level in Aberdeen and I knew it wasn't just haar from the sea so took a chance and got about 5m above it at the summit. Bizarre and magical, though very icy! Had a similar experience at Ben Rinnes a few years ago on New Years Day with settled snow at the summit. Just goes to show that you don't necessarily need great altitude to capture one, as long as you don't mind a bit of a slither up top perhaps.

Thanks Joan , felt very surreal, others have suggested a murmuration which I have never seen (or heard before) a first for me and very strange and spooky on the top of the mountain! Thanks for watching ATB Murray

Absolutely beautiful - fascinating info about inversions and great tip about the tent on a slope. I usually spend ages trying to get the flattest spot I can find for my tent so I'll definitely try that. As for the weird noise, I have no idea. Spooky. Sounded like a flock of pterodactyls flying past.

Definetely a flock of those for sure - it was very unusual and startled me a little as it was pretty loud - I was expecting a small aircraft to appear from some where !! lol Thanks for watching Murray

Ding dong Murray. 😎 We were heading up Beinn a' Bhathaich Ard. Ma pal Greg messaged me saying you had nailed the inversion. Sure enough I seen your pic at our summit in the clag. 😭 Well, there was blue sky above us & we had a fog bow & a faint Broken. Ach well eh.

Nice one 👍 was up on Beinn A Ghlo on Saturday night hoping for an inversion. Also had the wind and rain. Was pitched right at the summit of the middle Munro without any shelter from the wind. Was also in the tent thinking no chance now. Made it that bit more special after not thinking was going to get it and enduring probably the worst night I've had in a tent 😖😄👌

Hi Murray. I was lucky to have an inversion on my first ever time on Stob Dearg. It was magical, just wanted to stay up there all day. I’ve had a couple since in the Lake District but not on the scale of the one in Glencoe that day. That noise of the birds came through really strong on the camera….weird. All the best Dave

Thanks very much for the video Murray. I've only ever had two inversions in 3.5 years of climbing the first being on Ben Ledi on an early summer's morning where it was damp and warm on the ground and clear and very warm on the summit. Second time was recently on Mount Keen but only visible to the south whereas on Ben Ledi 360. A very interesting video tonight, really enjoyed learning more.
