This weekend, the hunting season for ptarmigans has begun in #Iceland.
There is an unfortunate asynchronicity between the ptarmigan feathers (which are already moulting from camouflage brown to white alpine realness) and Iceland’s actual weather changes – snow is usually a couple of more weeks away.
I had an encounter with a particularly fierce and gutsy ptarmigan mom this summer, so here’s hoping she's keeping all her fluffballs safe during these dangerous weeks ahead 🌨️🤞
