An Afternoon With Some Ptarmigan

Had a surprisingly successful trip up to Scotland in late-August after the Bird Fair with one of my Birding Ecotours colleagues - John Kinghorn (who's writing a proper trip report and I'll link soon).

We had 3 male Capercaillie, Golden Eagle, Crested Tit, Black Grouse, American White-winged Scoter, Surf Scoter, White-rumped Sandpiper, Osprey, and so much more. One of the real highlights however was the views of Rock Ptarmigan we got. Here are a few of my photos of a small party of birds we got very nice views of.
