Lochnagar and over to The Stuic yesterday. Still lots of snow in the corries. The ptarmigan are now pairing up and getting their spring coats whilst this mountain hare is still in its winter jacket #Lochnagar #CairngormsNP #Scotland

A couple more ptarmigan pictures from last week up on Lochnagar. The ptarmigan name comes from the Scottish Gaelic ‘tarmachan’, which translates as ‘croaker’ #Ptarmigan #CairngormsNP #Scotland https://getmona.app/rich_text/590624072265

Hovering just above zero in the glens at dawn with verglas and rime on the tops. Patches of snow from 1000m. Lochnagar this morning #CairngormsNP #Lochnagar #Scotland

I was out on the tops last week and picked up this feather lying on ground at about 3000ft. A reliable source has since informed me that this in fact “A Golden Eagle inner secondary covert from the left wing of a young bird.” Every day is a school day! 🦅 🪶 #CairngormsNP #Scotland #GoldenEagle

Up on the tops today. The snow is leaving and the locals are getting their summer coats out #CairngormsNP #Scotland #Ptarmigan #MountainHare

A sequence of pictures looking into Lochnagar and taken at the bealach between Meikle Pap and the Ladder last Friday. The first is taken using a drone just as the cloud came in. The second is the last view I got before quickly getting enveloped in the cloud - as seen in the third. A phenomena known as being “In the White Room” #Lochnagar #CairngormsNP #Scotland
