BLOGS
Well, I'm posting for the first time since I flew back to my home of sunny Scotland. Realised my account had lapsed too so here I am. My extended stay in Vancouver came to an end unfortunately. What can I say, all the sadness and wishing I was still there with my Gf are in full force. I guess I'd rather be sitting watching and photographing Waxwings and Hummingbirds at various lakes than facing the reality of work and rubbishness right now. I'm dealing, it's life and all that. It was a wonderful turbulent time and I'd go back tomorrow if I had the chance. I have my photo's to remind me though in the meantime. So here's a small selection of them from the last few months.
When I got back I went up to Argyle to assist my Dad with some bird ringing for the S.O.C and watch some Buzzard chicks in an undisclosed nest location. It was pretty incredible, even if I had to sit in an uncomfortable slightly dodgy tree with a heavy scope in the pouring rain to see the chicks. Every second was worth it. I got to see an Osprey nest at long distance too. That was excellent. So I got a chance to photograph some of our resident Scottish birds up very close as you will see in the shots below. Anyway, I'll be kicking around, making a pile of music and coping with long distance best I can.
Buzzard Chicks.
Little Wren
Bluetit wondering what I was exactly.
Juvenile Robin, still in Camouflaged plumage so he can hide as he's not very good at flying yet.
The famous red breast has still a long way to grow in.
Adult Oyster catcher trying to warn us off because his chick was in the vicinity.
Pretty spectacular to see the 'distraction' display. Flying away from the nest to lure us away from the chick and pretending to have a broken wing.This is the chick and yes, he's very cute and his feet were too big for him at this point. Because the beach he was on was so rocky, his plumage is unbelievably adapted...
