Moth are one interest that you can carry out throughout the year. Although the numbers fall off in winter there are also specialities which we have recently trapped such as Pale November Moth and Winter Moth. 


There are always birds to be found so to test our fitness, we headed up and up on Thursday into Munro territory, After a bit of a struggle we found a pleasing 12 Ptarmigan. Their plumage is heading towards the winter plumage with the grey Autumn plumage still partly present. Like this male in the picture they were calling quite a lot, in fact the calling helped locate the feeding party of seven and the loafing party of five.
