Pow Hill

 It wasn’t only a Cuckoo that I saw at Pow Hill. Green Hairstreak were showing well and a Red Squirrel showed up. Up on the moors there were Kestrel, Kite and Buzzard. From the hide a Redshank was on the shores of the reservoir.

Same day…

 …different location. Roe Deer and Red Squirrel. The light was really harsh in both locations making getting a half decent shot difficult.

Scotland 2025

Just back from a week’s (it’s never long enough) holiday in Scotland. We were staying once again in a cottage called Lettoch Beag not far from Killecrankie. Although I have loads of images to go through from last month, I thought I would do my first Blog from Scotland and then try and do a local one. It might take a while I’ll see how it goes.

There were a couple of Red Squirrel in the grounds of the cottage.






A Mole running around in the middle of the day. It did eventually make its way back underground.
