  • Desert Wheatear Oenanthe deserti. When high pressure builds over Scandinavia in the autumn, a strong easterly flow of air usually floods across Europe and brings with it a scattering of unusual passerine birds from as far away as Siberia or central Asia. Typically records relate to juveniles whose migratory instincts have failed them. Easterly winds continue to bring unusual sighting right through to the start of winter. Just when it seems that autumn migration has finished, a spell of easterly winds in November will sometimes bring a surprise in the form of a Desert Wheatear Oenanthe deserti, which by rights should be spending the winter in Africa, the Middle East or south Asia.

  • Reindeer Rangifer tarandus Shoulder height 0.9-1.2m Long-legged deer. Feeds on low-growing plants, including mosses and lichens. Both sexes have antlers – used to clear snow in winter for feeding. Adult is grey-brown; coat is thickest in winter. Male (bull) is thickset with asymmetrical, palmate antlers from early spring to mid-winter. Female (cow) has shorter antlers that lack palmations; shed in May. Calf is greyish brown. Utters grunting sounds. Formerly native to Britain but extinct by 12th Century. Domesticated animals introduced from Scandinavia now roam Cairngorms.
