Even more mountains

Another nice day in the mountains with mostly sun and blue skies but a couple of heavy showers . A distant 2k Hen Harrier (myrhauk) was the birding highlight alongside singing Lapland Buntings (lappspurv) , Whimbrel (småspove), Kestrels (tårnfalk) and more scoters.

We walked up a small hill where previously we have had Dotterel (boltit) and Willow Grouse (lirype) but none to be found this year,
