Nice shot! They are mainly winter visitors, but there are small breeding populations in the Cairngorms and in the Nevis area.

I had the pleasure in seeing one on the summit of Sgurr Mor in the Fannaichs last Sunday (16th May).

Seen one on it's own up Lochnagar summit in March, then two on top of Ben Macdui 2 weeks ago. Cute wee birds and quite friendly
