Ptarmigan 4
Possibly the hardest days photography I have ever had in terms of effort to get into position,to dealing with the weather conditions and the subject! Over a 2 hour walk in the Cairngorm in the search of Ptarmigan looked to be for nothing when after reaching our final destination wind was swirling in strong gusts making visibility poor and the chance of being able to hear the birds impossible! After looking around for about 1 hour we decided it was best to head back and low and behold more than half way back down the mountains but a Ptarmigan walked right in front of usand duly made for the hills with its partner but not before we managed a couple of token shot! Drifting snow made photography almost impossible to get a worthwhile shot but at least we got something. Further down the hill and we found another pair behind a rock,again they weren`t for settling so a quick couple of snaps only. Now to put the feet up and recover before thinking of doing it again!
