Blustery, wet and feeling more like the end of September than August today up on Lochnagar. Plenty of young ptarmigan around and even the company of a snow bunting made it worthwhile #Cairngorms #Lochnagar #Ptarmigan #SnowBunting #Scotland

The Arrochar Alps are less than an hour's drive from Glasgow, and yet they feel like a completely different world. Today, it seemed like I had the entire range to myself. Well, me and this pair of Ptarmigan!

This is the first #ptarmigan I've ever seen in the wild. I saw it in Iceland almost ten years ago. It was May and I think it's the time of year #ptarmigans are transitioning their plumage from the white, winter one to the darker, summer plumage. This ptarmigan is a male as indicated by the red eyebrow. Apparently ptarmigan is the traditional Christmas dinner in #Iceland.

Ptarmigan.
I'm not one for hiking up mountains, but the reward of seeing these elusive birds, ptarmigan, makes the effort worthwhile.
This male was keeping a close eye on us as we watched him and his partner, making their way through the powdery snow near the top of the mountain.

Another pic from our Scotland trip in May this year. Couldn't believe our luck when we spotted a Ptarmigan only a few metres away and then a second flew in towards us too!

The Effortless Grace of a Ptarmigan
The "sleek and nimble" Alaska Ptarmigan is on shoreline patrol. Plump and delicious, about the size of a chicken. An easy target for a hungry hunter in the wilderness!
Yummy!
