Scottish guy with a camera and a love of nature, especially birds. Header shot is Backwater Reservoir showing dark skies and the hills beyond the water with a dusting of snow, the light and shadows from the clouds makes a more dramatic view. Avatar is a Tree Sparrow dangling from the bottom of a round, wired suet feeder.

I've been organising my photos in #PhotoPrism for a couple of days now, and all the mouse navigation is giving me wrist pain, but it's hard to stop...

Science question? I can see the colours in that nacreous cloud, can the people in that aircraft also see them? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” #science #nacreouscloud #clouds #skies #scottishskies #perthandkinross #phonography

Ever hit a photographic doldrum? The weather is poor, the light is awful. You're fed up with editing previous work? I need to get up, out and walking, photographing and it's AGAIN! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ž

A grey metal eyebolt in the left foreground has a heavy green rope tied to it, the rope leads off to an old decaying fishing boat whose wooden hull is faded from red bottom, blue top. The prow is on land, the rudder and prop in shallow water, she is slowly rotting away.
A decaying rowing boat lies on the grass with securing rope all over, a pair of rusty anchors show in the lower right. Blue water is in the background right and a rocky hill on the horizon

Last night

An almost full moon in shades of white through a very pale yellow, there are strips of cloud passing in front of the moon and a pale glow lights up the clouds above it

#Corvids behaviour! I might have mentioned our Jackdaw behaviour? One on the suet feeder, pecking at it, the other below, waiting for bits to drop!!! I've watched them learn, wonderful. #birds #birdphotography #bird #gardenbirds #nature #naturephotography #scotland #PerthandKinross #alyth

It's raining again. I love #corvids

  1. I can't stand the rain
  2. Why does it always rain on me? #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #gardenbirds #scotland #PerthandKinross

A black and grey Jackdaw standing on the fence facing into camera, it is bent forward, there is an angry look on its face, its feathers behind are all ruffled out and raindrops appear all around it

February 9th, it snowed most of the day here and the garden and feeders were chaos! Which was good for me. Have a look at my pages.

Is the coast clear? A Jackdaw in the garden checks its surroundings #bird #birds #gardenbirds #nature #naturephotography #photography #Scotland #alyth #PerthandKinross #Corvids

A Jackdaw perched on a thin branch, low to the ground, looking to our left, almost all black with lighter areas around the neck, its bright eye stands out. The uprights of a wooden fence appear as a backdrop

Mystery birds. I've been posting some shots of visitors to our garden as a wee fun quiz for those out there getting to know our UK birds, see how many you can spot / name?

April 1st and I got my first contact with an Osprey. Our local pair have both returned to their nest, rebuilt it and mated, several times! #bird #birds #birdsofmastodon #nature #naturephotography #scotland #Angus #AngusGlens #photography

An Osprey flying past, brown wings are on a downward stroke and the bird is looking over the top towards me and the camera, flying to the left
An Osprey centre screen, flying to the left with a Common Gull above and behind, they were harassing the Osprey as it flew by
A full screen shot of the Osprey as it turned, the wings show vertically, the off-white body fully displayed, white / brown underwings and feather markings. The golden yellow eye ring can be seen here. Bird flying to the left

An interesting morning for visitor yesterday 16th April.

A female Brambling sits on a horizontal branch with her back to us, her head turned to the right, that eye visible. Her head is a blueish colour with paler streaks running from front to back, her side is an orange colour with flashes of white and black, a little yellow towards the tail feathers, her back looks scaled but is just feather pattern
A male Yellowhammer on the grass, the head is a bright yellow with dark brown streaks from the beak over the back of the head, the yellow mantle ends at the neck and the main body colour is brown streaks
