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
My parents have lived in the coastal town of Ardersier for over thirty years, there’s just mum now so we get up to visit as often as possible, not only to visit mum but, Ardersier has some great walks and scenery surrounding it and the sea right across the road! I love the walk along … More Ardersier in January
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
I’ve not been getting up to Backwater reservoir as often as I’d like, partly bad weather, partly poor weather, in other words dull and overcast for photography. I did get up three times over January but that doesn’t feel like often now. Also, it’s pretty quiet at that time of year; the light can be … More Backwater in January
We’ve had a fairly good week up here, weather-wise but it’s been bitterly cold with smatterings of snow and a cold wind so, I haven’t been far, up to the feeding post couple of times, that’s it. That at least gets me some exercise, and steps as well as photo opportunities. This morning started completely … More First visit since New Year’s Day
The weather hasn’t been great over the last few days and today was looking more promising so, we’d planned a trip to Scurdieness and a walk to the lighthouse and maybe even beyond. 12 o’clock arrived and we were just about ready when I realised it’s a dull day already, it’s 12 o’clock already and … More A New Year’s Day wander
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
I went for another walk yesterday, this time into town which seemed a good idea at the time but, of course, it started raining on my way back. 7.8 miles, the last three in wet, misty rain, Ach well, there you go. A good walk, some decent sightings I think but, as ever, the editing process … More Down at the old Oak
Possibly the great finale? Sorry it’s been a lot of images and waffle but, I had a fab day and I do like to share that experience, the White-tailed Eagles experience was just something else. So. Where was I? That second Eagle had just flown over my head…. I was almost over on my butt … More I went for a walk today Pt. 4
