Odds and Ends




Just thought I'd stick a few more pics on the blog which I have taken over the last few months. No particular theme, but mainly birds and perhaps the odd fish!!

Swans at the local Nature Reserve


I was down at the local Nature Reserve last week, and came across a pair of Mute Swans who were just begining the process of nesting. The reserve was quite busy and the tranquility was soon shattered as a dog encroached a little too close to the Swan's territory. Made a good picture, though!

TV Fame for Ron

My good friend, bird watching buddy and photography mentor, Ron McCombe, has recently won the prestigious title of Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year 2010.

As a follow up to this, Ron was asked to appear on Scottish television which was shown earlier this week on STV.

Check out Ron on TV by following the link from his website at  http://www.wildlife-photography.uk.com/blog/?p=4149

Also take time to have at look at Ron's work, and his photography workshops. I have been with him on several trips, and they are well worth it if you are keen on wild life and photography.
