After lunch, we started exploring and soon found nervous Mountain Hares (better than nothing), then a nice Ptarmigan pair, still predominantly white, but they soon flew off. So we started heading back to the ski area, but found some more hares to detain us, including this one that was more obliging.
Our descent went smoothly, and once down we hunted round the car park and were rewarded with a little flock of Snow Buntings. Quite a day with three mountain specials seen and photographed.
