Heron over Loch Carron

** This shot was a double surprise I was not expecting the bird to fly by, the other surprise was that I managed to get it more or less in focus

 

The context we we were on Callum’s boat photographing seals on one of Loch Carson’s small islands . We were a small group Callum and his mate two charming young French women Lucie and Lauren and Mary an I . At one point Lucie shouted there was a Heron I looked away from the seals and took one shot not expecting anything but a blur

 

It was a fun trip Mary acted as translator between broad Scottish and French. Callum obviously found the young women charming and one point he sang a ballad on Gallic . We met up with the French women the following night and had a good session in the pub I introduced Lauren to Guinness which she enjoyed . One of the highlights of the Highlands was its international feel There were many Americans and French people staying in the Plockton which made it more interesting. In fact English people were thin on the ground so it felt like one was properly abroad . Mary said she spoke more French than she would have in France
