Scotland - Ring Ouzel

A painful Achilles tendon had scuppered any chance of walking Cairngorm this year but I was determined to have a minor wander on the lower slopes with hopes of a Ring Ouzel or two? This male was busy feeding on a grassy slope and kept me occupied for a while, trying to capture what he was eating?

Sit quiet and her he comes...

Sprinting after an 'unseen' small insect!

Gotcha!

Then a pretty one sided tug of war with a worm!

Hmm, this saves catching another 50 of those flies?

Safely down the hatch...

The Ptarmigan can wait another year...
