The Bearded Vulture looks surprisingly like the Night King in “Game of Thrones” Probably not a coincidence.

Admiring Nature in her wildest grace, These northern scenes with weary feet I trace; O’er many a winding dale and painful steep, Th’ abodes of covey’d grouse and timid sheep…. Sheep may timidly graze but these Black Grouse are another matter altogether.

In talking to the local guides, and Rangers, they all agreed that they had not been seeing too many species around in the last couple of weeks. Of course, there were plenty of big game around, and so I will post a few of those shots at the end of this posting. Little Big Year species – 888. eBird submissions – 292.
