Editing Cairn Gorm (section)

==Wildlife==

The mountain is home to a number of bird species, including [[dotterel]] and [[ring ouzel]] (in the spring and summer) and [[snow bunting]] and ptarmigan (also known as [[rock ptarmigan]]) (all year round). Mammals inhabiting the mountain include [[mountain hare]], [[red deer]] and a herd of [[reindeer]]. Wildflowers found on the mountain include [[Cornus suecica|dwarf cornel]], [[cloudberry]] and [[butterwort]]. For many of these species of flora and fauna, Cairn Gorm is one of their key strongholds.<ref>See, for example, Lee Evans, ''Ultimate Site Guide to Scarcer British Birds'' (1996).</ref>
