The weather has been mixed today after the spell of great, sunny days but it was expected and it’s not raining ….. yet. That said, we could do with some rain, maybe a downpour from midnight to 05:00? Anyway, I grabbed my camera and binoculars and headed out for a wander, then turned back and … More Getting busier on the patch
I was out for a walk today, up at the reservoir, probably my favourite walk. There were no cars in the car park when I got there, always a good sign for me. The sun was shining, the sky was mostly blue and a decent breeze was blowing. I was up here to spot the … More Red Kite
I do hope no-one minds that I split my walk into two parts? This is the big part, to me anyway, where the Red Kites started cruising around me, allowing me to photograph them in quite close proximity. I see them at Backwater reservoir quite often now. I’d made my way to the second gate, … More Kite a walk Pt. 2

It was great to get a few glimpses of Crossbills as I walked up, they the very reason I started walking here but … More Backwater in January
This would appear to be the first date I went back up to the feeding post, which is a good thing for you all, way too many shots from this area. That said, I do love just standing up there watching and listening, so much to see and it’s usually very quiet and peaceful. … More January 21st
Up and at ’em, I thought. It was damned chilly out there and a good breeze blowing right up the firth; ach well, you’ve got to take the rough with the smooth eh? It was 08:59 when I parked the car and walked to the shore. Hats, coats, gloves on….. that breeze was COLD! There’s … More Ardersier – January 15th
