Is it ptarmigans that change their colour to more mottled looking in the summer months?
Nice shot though Ian and really does demonstrate how well the camo works .....
....which reminds me, have you got the 600mm with you, and if so, did you pack a snowy white camo sleave for that too? [as opposed to off white/grey of its natural plumage]
Nice one indeed. Its been a while since I saw a real live Ptarmigan
They have plastic ones up in Scotland do they, Charlie?
Lovely shot, Ian... thanks for sharing with us southern folk!
Boy im envious, your getting some great shots.
Yes Ptarmigans do change colour for summer i believe.
You are indeedy correct ... they become MBJ's ...
As opposed to LBJ's ...
Very well captured Ian and really does show why they take on a Winter coat ...
OMG ... ... all that way and no 600 ... :nono: ... what were you thinking my good man ...
