A few Scottish birds.......

20 Sept - a few Scottish specialities seen during a couple of days of Munro bagging, in good weather in the central /west Highlands around Corrour - a total of 12 Ptarmigan, in several family groups, on the summit ridges - a couple of migrant Golden Plover - a migrant Ring Ouzel - a Dipper on a fast-flowing river, together with a Grey Wagtail - a flyover Snipe on the bogs - and 2 skeins of migrating Pink-footed Geese arriving from the NW after their flight from Iceland, an evocative sight with their wild calling filling the glen. Crossbills were calling in several patches of woodland.
