January 14th Pt. 2

Mum and I took a run to Nairn for a different walk, who knows? Maybe even a bag of chips? 🙂 It was mid-afternoon and still blooming chilly but we had a walk along the West beach and back. The sky was absolutely beautiful, subtle colours and great clouds. I didn’t take many shots, it … More January 14th Pt. 2

This morning was a real beauty in my opinion, quite subtle and fairly short-lived but … More One morning in December

Now that I’ve discovered Nuthatches up in this woodland, I’m up there pretty often trying to get good shots of it / them. On my first visit I counted c6 birds coming down to feed, since then I’m pretty certain there’s only one or two. I base this on the number of visits, how quick … More Celebrating the Nuthatch
