Thanks for the info Jim.

I've spent the last couple of winter's playing in the snow up on the plateau and seen Mountain Hares, Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting etc, but carrying a long lens up there with all the winter gear is too much for me, though I'll probably throw the axe and crampons in the boot on the off chance that the weather is irresistible!

Would love to get some shots of Ptarmigan though, how far down the mountain will they come? I’m guessing not very, even if there’s snow in the valleys?
