Climbing Ben Nevis

by Pauline Durkin, Burnley

As many of you will know it's a bit of a long trek up to the top of Ben Nevis.

When myself and four friends reached the top the most unlikely thing - i.e. bird song greeted us, it was awesome.

Sat on the top of the derelict observatory was a Snow Bunting. He was in no hurry to fly away and entertained us while we ate our well earned packed lunch.

What a reward!
