Pitlochry, Loch Faskally and Ben Vrackie
Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) feather and droppings, Ben Vrackie. The feathers form a soft downy layer near the skin, which keeps the bird warm, and a more waterproof and stronger part to the feathers on the outside. This feather is largely white, so part of the winter plumage which had been moulted when this picture was taken at the end of April.
