bird, Cairngorm, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 7, 2013Leave a comment

One stop while in the Cairngorms was Cairngorm Mountain. In the car park there you can often find snow buntings, which can be tempted down a bit closer with some seed. It was pretty snowy so I got shots of them on the rocky wall with some snow around.

Some more photos photos from Loch Garten. A great tit posed, looking right at me, which gives a bit of a different perspective. A treecreeper landed in a pine tree and I managed a couple of grab shots as it searched for food. And a chaffinch posed on the twig.

Anyone who has visited Loch Garten will know the nest is some way off from the centre, though cameras and telescopes provided do give good views. Its not so good if you want photos, so I got out the Pentax Q and shot some video of the EJ, the female osprey. This video has been…

Red squirrel video

Cairngorm, mammal, rodent, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeMarch 29, 20132 Comments

I sat in a hide this morning at about 6.15am and the red squirrel I was waiting for never showed. Thankfully I did the same yesterday morning and I got some photos of one that did, but don’t have the software or processing power with me to edit them properly. I did however take some…
