One thing I wanted to spend a bit of time doing while up in Ardnamurchan was camera trapping. Using a PIR at a selected spot, it triggers the camera based on movement. It gives a unique perspective, enabling you to capture photos you wouldn’t otherwise be able to.
In this case I was keen to show the Pine Marten that were visiting the cottage I was staying at in their forest environment. A little bit of fill flash was needed as it's quite dark in the wood, but I'm pleased with these.
Pine Warbler, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Oct 14, 2019.
Had a swarm of birds come into the water feature, 5 species of warbler, 3 or more sparrows and the usual suspects.
Setophaga pinus
The Pine Warbler is the only warbler that eats large quantities of seeds, primarily those of pines. This seed-eating ability means Pine Warblers sometimes visit bird feeders, unlike almost all other warblers.
First Pine Siskins that I have seen at my home in Yakima County Washington this winter. There were 3 of them at my feeder most of the day (Feb, 1)

Ready to go to seed the pine cones in the pines catch the wind and make music as the seeds fly to new ground.
Pine Marten : "Polly" posing for the camera. The photography is the easy bit especially when the R5 nails the eye focus every shot. She might only pose like this for two seconds so you have to be quick as getting all paws, tail , bib and head on in the same shot can be difficult to say the least as they tend to keep a low profile. Twenty fps makes it easier but the hard bit is sitting for 6 hours in sub zero temps waiting for her to turn up in daylight five mins before hypothermia is just about to set in !

A rather wet and bedraggled Pine Marten kit... It was chucking it down that evening and the wind speed was around 40 miles an hour. My hide collapsed on me a couple of times and understandably the Pine Marten didn't stick around for long.
The Pines reflecting in the still waters of Buttermere...Even in flat light Buttermere still has a serene charm.
Last of my Pine Marten shots taken on Black Isle in July - thought I would try a portrait crop on this one
Exactly 2 years ago today, NH-1 is seen dropping cars in the Pine Orchard yard for Branford Steam Railroad, Branford, Connecticut.
We spent more than a day shooting these Pine Grosbeaks so as you can imagine I have more than a few images
While we were eating lunch by the pond, the whale boat's tail got caught in a pine branch on a small island in the pond. The crew pedaled desperately but could not escape. I asked my friend the boat manager to rescue them, and the whale boat was rescued safely. After a while, a crew member, mother and her son came to thank us.
Back to the Pine Marten! I have a mountain of photos to go through so you can expect plenty more to come! ;)
