Two male birds feeding on newly scattered grass seed, Rustic Cabins, Achnacarnin (Murray Anderson). The first report of this passage species on its way to Iceland since 2016. There are probably a few birds each year in Assynt but they need to be in the right place at the right time to be seen. Photos Gallery – Birds
