Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

I would appreciate any insight into identifying this bird - it was seen at a mountain pass in western Switzerland. Habitat was tundra and stunted shrubs. Thanks!
