Scotland Trip 2014

Here are a few images from my week in the Cairngorms back in May. I haven't properly sorted and edited all the images yet so I will post any additional images when I get around to it.

 Spotted Flycatcher, Abernethy Forest

 Red Squirrel, Lochindorb

 Beaver, Nr. Blairgowrie, Perthshire

 Mountain Hare

 Red Grouse

 Osprey

 Goldeneye, Loch Insh

 Ptarmigan, Cairngorm Mountain

 Yellowhammer, Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen

King Eider, Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen

Hoopoe, Polgigga, March 2014

Again I haven't posted for ages and thats mainly due to me not actually taking many images over the past few months. I never got around to posting these images of the Hoopoe at Polgigga back in March.
Having just pulled into the large lay-by just out of Polgigga we were surprised to see the Hoopoe picking in the short grass right next to the car. We had pulled in to check for any news of the bird and didn't realise for ages that it was right next to us. It spent a while happily feeding until more people turned up and was eventually pushed off into an adjacent field.
I spent the last week of May in the Cairngorms National Park so will post a few images from then in the next few days.
