Highland Andy (Andy Howard)
Ptarmigan - Cairngorm (Lagopus muta) 0790
I spent today in the Cairngorms guiding for a group of photographers, I normally don't take pictures when guiding but in this instance the guys were more than happy for me to do so, this was helped by the sheer numbers of Ptarmigan. We must have seen well in excess of fifty birds today. This is as a direct result of the mild and dry early summer months, this in turn greatly reduced the chick mortality rate.
If you're interested in joining me for a day in the Cairngorm's to photograph these delightful wee birds you will find details on my website.
