A female Redstart in woodland beneath the Betws mountain, Amman valley.

I saw the first Redstart (male) on April 21st so it was lovely to visit my favourite Redstart spot yesterday and see one male plus at least two, possibly three females.

The male seemed disinterested in the females but the females were chasing each other about relentlessly! Is there a reason for this anyone?

Fast agile birds like this are a bit and miss for the old Sigma 500 so tried my old canon 400mm f5.6 it is so lightening quick to focus and light to carry .

I really would recommend this lens for any canon users wanting to have a go at birds in flight it is just soooo good !!

This beautiful little Linnet was quite content and not at all bothered with my presence as it gazed into a farmers field between the border of Berkshire and Oxfordshire...Thanks for looking.

At Morton lochs this afternoon

Yesterday afternoon near Braemar.

I took this photo of a Dotterel last September, they migrate from North Africa to their breeding grounds in the Scottish Highlands. One of their stop off points for 'refuelling' is the Black mountain in the Breacon Beacons. Springwatch presenter Iolo Williams actually recorded one of his TV shows about Dotterel on the very same mountain. Sadly I have not been able to see any Dotterel migrating this year during the Spring or on their return this Autumn. I hope it's not a sign of things to come and hope next year will be better.

This wee lamb was showing its love to mum

Black Paws was an orphaned fox I helped feed and she has now moved to her own territory.

A beautiful and friendly bird voted the nations favourite.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

As the light faded on the Scottish cliffs the last of the sun moved behind the beautiful beak and lit it up like a lantern..

Turned out nice again. :@)

At Loch Milldam this afternoon.

Razorbill in flight over the North Sea at Bempton Cliffs.

We spent a lovely day at Bempton Cliffs yesterday. The weather was kind to us - after the morning, which was initially a little grey, the sun came out just before noon and the winds were fairly light.

These Razorbills are a bit tricky to capture in flight, as they are very fast!

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

A dusting of snow on Schiehallion this afternoon.

Saw this little beauty sitting on the side of the road and managed a quick shot before she panicked and ran away

Starling in my back garden, Aberdeen, Scotland.

I was beginning to think I wasn't going to make the ten-year run on the 'Watches'… When this popped up tonight. Needless to say, I'm well chuffed.

This tiny little fella was taken up on the Mendip hills.
