Another image from my recent trip to Scotland. I'm happy to have grabbed some landscape shots on the trip as it was really primarily a bird photography holiday.

I was lucky enough to get a few nice sunsets and sunrises on my recent bird watching trip to Scotland. This is Loch Morlich at the base of Cairngorm. Lots of Goldeneye ducks frequent this Loch but unfortunately they were always too far away even for my 600mm lens.

One of the UK's rarest birds and found only in the ancient forests of the central Scottish Highlands. I've always found this bird difficult to locate but recently some birders told me of a place in Speyside in the Cairngorm National Park that it regularly frequents....and here's the proof!
If you find yourself up this way then the Grant Arms Hotel in Grantown on Spey is a great place to stay.

An image from a trip last summer. I hope the above title is correct, please don't hesitate to let me know if it's wrong.
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all and here's to lots of good photo opportunities in 2012.

Lots of wintering birds in Cornwall at present. The Hayle estuary in West Cornwall is one of the 'hotspots' if you happen find yourself down this way.
For those of you that may like a laugh....my Canon 5D came back to me from Canon's repair centre last Monday, it stopped working on Tuesday and has now been sent back for the fifth time!
