Willow Grouse

Saw quite a few of these early morning. But again, they were very flighty and just seemed to blend into the undergrowth and disappear

Capercaillie

Very distant shot. As soon as we saw them, they were gone

Northern Bullfinch

Difficult to capture through all the trees. My camera focused on everything apart from the bird, but the birds are much bigger than ours and have much more colour. One of Karen's favourites of the trip

Pintail

Arctic Tern

Plentiful on the lakes

Siberian Tit box

Had two sightings of this stunning little bird, but alas, no pics. Anyway, there is a bird inside this box !!

Pied fly and wryneck

Always distant, nothing was easy to photograph and because of the timescale, we were always rushed along to the next sight.

Great Grey Owl

Stunning views but again, a sensative sight so we had to keep our distance

Tengmalm's Owl

Felt honoured to see this, although it didn't venture out any further. Due to the sensative area we couldn't stay long but found pigmy owl singing from a neighbouring tree. An excellent morning

Red Flanked Bluetail

A very distant shot which just kept its distance. Very difficult to capture in a thick forest. We only had one sighting of this bird
