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.

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.

I also got a shot…

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.

Coal tit Periparus ater

bird, Cairngorm, Scotland, titBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 4, 2013Leave a comment

One bird that frequented the feeders while in the Cairngorms was the coal tit. On my first day I got a number of photos using my 300mm.

bird, BOP, Cairngorm, Scotland, videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeMarch 30, 2013Leave a comment

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…

Capercaillie – Tetrao urogallus

bird, Cairngorm, Gamebird, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 16, 2012Leave a comment

Back in March I was lucky enough to see a capercaillie that posed for photos. I got some photos of the capercaillie in the woods too.

A few photos I took of red grouse on my way home from the Cairngorms back in March, the route for which just so happened to take us through a good spot for them.
