Description: | Display song of a ptarmigan recorded in the mountains of Glenshee, Scotland. This gamebird is a lover of cold conditions and subsequently can only be found in the highest mountains of Scotland. In winter it becomes almost totally white in colour, making it perfectly camouflaged against the snowy landscape. In summer the upperparts develop a grey-brown appearance. Females emit a high ‘cooing’ whilst males produce various clicks, rasps and croaks. A grating call is produced when alarmed. Global warming and the resulting loss of alpine habitat have led to concerns over the ptarmigan’s long term survival. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Bird Moor Wildlife sounds | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Shove, Lawrence | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
