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
Sorry, yes, still going but I’ll try to end it here. We can finally get to the crux of it today, why all the semi-secrecy? I was heading for the second gate, along the almost flat part of the track where there is a field on the right, today with sheep grazing in it and … More I went for a walk today Pt. 3
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
The sun shone today! No, really, it was there when I woke up and it’s still out there now, in fact, I think all clouds have been banished for the day at least. About bliddy time I say! SO Summer is on a Friday this year SO, I got up, got dressed (shower later) and … More I went for a walk today
