Cairngorn, Scottish Highlands







Due to the dreadful weather we are experiencing this year in the UK, our annual visit to Scotland had to be postponed for 2 months. This was probably the worst time of year to go as most birds had failed to breed and had long gone. The residents hopefully had chicks by now so were laying low, the courtship over. We climbed Cairngorm twice but afraid that Ptarmigan was not on our trip list this time, not for want of trying. Still, with scenery like this to admire we still had a good day.
