June 2015 Common Seal Isle of Skye

Great to see these Common Seals at the Isle of Skye.  They are about to have pups unlike the Grey Seals that give birth in the winter.

June 2015 Pilot Whales Isle of Skye

Had a great find while waiting for an Otter to come along.  I was looking across the loch and saw a big dark fin.  Took a while to realise it was a pod of three pilot whales.  Really excited and they stayed around for at least three days.  Never got to see an Otter but these were more than great compensation!

June 2015 Willow Warbler bringing in food.

Went to the Isle of Skye and enjoyed the dramatic wildlife.  Still great to get up close to this Willow Warbler bringing in food for its young at the top of Portree harbour.

May 2015 Love is in the air. Avocets!

A lot of Avocets at Slimbridge lost their first brood of chicks to a male Sparrow hawk.  They never give up though and look to be starting all over again!

Nice cuddle they seem to do!

Love strut!

I just think these birds are so beautiful, especially the male in full breeding plumage!

May 2015 Bath time Meadow Pipit

Really lucky to be sat quietly when this Meadow Pipit came along within a few metres, completely unaware I was there.
