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…

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.

Coal tit Periparus ater

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.

I’m not one for doing landscapes, but even I couldn’t resist a view like this. Ive stitched together a number of shots and quite like the result

Coal tit

I have loads of photos from my recent trip to Scotland, but barely started on the editing, so here is a coal tit at Loch Garten.

EJ the osprey at RSPB Loch Garten video

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…
