I reckon the Gyrfalcon alone would have made my holiday. I had understood it was a hotspot for Merlin.Very little chance of me going now,afraid age and lung problems have put the kybosh on trips like that,not even sure if I can get insurance at a sensible price now.

Hi Teejay-I've just caught up with your thread. What a fascinating trip -I just can't pick any favourite birds,I like all of your photos. I enjoyed seeing birds I've seen here in a different plumage and environment (like your gorgeous Snow Bunting). The scenery looks breathtaking in your photos-I can only imagine what it must be like to see it for real. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to post
