I have a few varied shots gathered in December so I thought I’d put them together here to highlight some of the variety to be seen and photographed. I’m hoping for a little more as the new year runs into Spring and Summer. I’m seeing more and more Treecreepers up there now. As I walked … More An end of year collection
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
It was the sight of all those Redwing and Fieldfares that sparked my interest in this wee are but, the discovery of Nuthatches here was the real hook that dragged me back. I hadn’t seen them on the patch before at all and they were reasonably scarce the further North you travel so, here I … More December 1st at the old Oak
It’s November 14th 2024 and I’d been seeing Fieldfare and Redwing on the patch and knew there were a few Rowan trees down the lane that were heavily laden with berries so, I headed down there, see what I might see. First sighting, albeit through the branches, a Fieldfare getting stuck in. We have hundreds of them … More A pre-feeding post visit
Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was in our news for a while and I’d been keeping an eye on when and where it might be visible in our skies. … More Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
So to continue with my walk, I was really happy with the short session at the bushes with the Dunnock and young Chiffchaff, I could have stood there for ages, the Coal Tits were all over those bushes but moving away so, I headed on up the trail. OK, one last Chiffchaff shot. It really … More I went for a walk today Pt. 2
August 29th 2024 – Off for a wander up the Ericht in Blairgowrie, we walk here fairly often and I’ve taken to spending more time on the banks now that I’ve seen Kingfishers, very briefly! So I parked up as usual, grabbed all the gear, often just one camera and headed up the path. Up at the … More Up the Ericht
Over the last few years of walking, exploring and photographing in Scotland, I’ve never gathered up and shared the images of Ospreys that I’ve managed to collect so, I thought I’d start here and share some of the images from my wanderings. Before moving here, I think I had a chance encounter at Lossiemouth West … More Osprey Encounters
I was back at Backwater reservoir on the 6th of March but didn’t see any Crossbills, there are times I walk up here and see almost nothing, time of day, weather conditions, so many things have an effect on what we see. March 7th 2023 So on March 7th I was up for my morning … More Of Walks and Crossbills
February 25th 2023 and off to Backwater Reservoir again. We’d been SO lucky last time to see a beautiful female Crossbill right next to us in a small pine tree, surely I’d find her or more again? Once again it was freezing, it is February after all and in Central Scotland but, yet again, a beautiful … More Of Walks and Crossbills
