Crested tit

bird, Cairngorm, Scotland, titBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 21, 2013Leave a comment

The bird I was after at Loch Garten was a crested tit. My friend Ian was kind enough to lend me his 7D and 600mm prime lens to help me out! (see his and Paulines excellent images here: Pauline and Ian’s Zenfolio). With his help I managed a few shots, including this one. As you…

A quick photo of a coal tit.

Robin

bird, Cairngorm, Scotland, thrushBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 19, 2013Leave a comment

A quick shot from the Loch Garten feeders. I went all the way up to the Highlands of Scotland and photographed….a robin. It looked so nice in the sun I couldn’t resist pressing the shutter!

Snowy landscapes in Cairngorms

Cairngorm, landscape, landscapes, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 19, 2013Leave a comment

Here are a couple of landscape from the Cairngorms last month. First up a panorama on the road back from Lecht. and another shot from further along the road.

Mountain Hares

Cairngorm, Hare, mammal, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 16, 2013Leave a comment

When up in a Cairngorms I hoped to see Mountain Hares. I managed a few shots, and this was probably the best shot. I was expecting shots more like this! I even had another one pose briefly by the road. It moved off and poked its head over the snow.

First slow worms of the year

Essex, Lizard, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 15, 2013Leave a comment

I found my first reptiles of the year this morning: some slow worms. They were fairly sluggish, at least to start with, so I got a few shots of them before they slithered off.

Fraser’s bridge on Clunie Water, Glen Clunie

Cairngorm, landscape, landscapes, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 14, 2013Leave a comment

While driving through the Cairngorms we stopped at Fraser’s bridge on Clunie Water, Glen Clunie. The wonderful bridge was too nice to ignore, even to someone like me who doesn’t do much landscape photography (though I did have to clone out a street sign out of one of the photos). I also got a shot…

Grizzled skipper and Balkan wall lizard on Mount Aenos

butterflies, Greece, insect, Kefalonia, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 13, 2013Leave a comment

In a break from the photos from Scotland, here are some from my holiday last year to Kefalonia. While driving up Mount Aenos we stopped to admire the view. I spotted this butterfly flying, I believe it is a dingy skipper. EDIT: it’s a grizzled skipper On a rock nearby this Balkan wall lizard was…

Snow Bunting Plectrophenax nivali in the snow

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.

Great tit, treecreeper and Chaffinch

bird, finch, titBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 5, 20131 Comment

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.
