Common toads by a loch – Bufo bufo

amphibian, Cairngorm, Scotland, toadBy Neil-UKWildlifeJune 2, 2012Leave a comment

Some pics from the Cairngorms now. Most people stick to the grouse and other highland specialties when in the the Cairngorms but I can’t resist a good toad photograph and at this loch there were 100s! They were in the water and on the paths. There were a few mating pairs. I I couldn’t resist…

Red grouse and golden plover

bird, Cairngorm, Gamebird, Scotland, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 18, 2012Leave a comment

Driving to Glen Shee, we passed plenty of red grouse and we stopped to photograph an number of those in photographic postions. I managed to get one making that fantastic call. A few were wandering around the ski resort car park. We also passed a golden plover, which I managed one ok photo of.

Ptarmigan and mountain hare on Glen Shee

bird, Cairngorm, Gamebird, mammal, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 14, 20122 Comments

One of the species I wanted to see in Scotland was ptarmigan. These are a bird of mountain tops in the UK and it usually it would have involved walking through snow to get them in March, but the record warm weather meant there was little snow about so easier walking. Unfortunately it also meant…

Crested tit, coal tit, chaffinch, goldeneye and red squirrel

bird, Cairngorm, finch, Scotland, tit, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 13, 2012Leave a comment

Carrying on with my photos from Scotland, I took a number of small bird photos in Cairngorms. I got one good photo of a crested tit, which I had to crop quite heavily. The siskins stayed too far away as well. I got a couple of ok shots though. As always in Scotland, the were…

Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus

bird, Cairngorm, Gamebird, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 7, 20122 Comments

I could write a lot about these fantastic birds but I thought I’d just let the photos do the talking: For anyone with welfare concerns with this bird you can rest easy: the SNH capercaillie recorder was present while I took these photos.

Reindeer

Cairngorm, deer, mammal, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 5, 20122 Comments

While not a target species, with them not being 100% wild or native in the strictest sense, coming across the reindeer on the cairngorms was still pretty cool. It was great to see them in an at least semi natural habitat. I tried a different shot too.
