A canny day at work (photographically speaking) yesterday with a few first for the year.
I haven’t seen a Dingy Skipper for a while so very
pleased to see this one.
Like wise with this Common Blue, I haven’t seen one
for a while.
Instar from what I think is the Hairy Shieldbug.
My first Grasshopper of the year.

Depending on where we are while on holiday in Scotland we try and visit Loch of the Lowes at least once. The majority of the images in this and the next Blog are from there. This part is mainly the Sand Martins and Swallows that were picking flies off the water. We also visit a small Loch to see if there are any divers unfortunately this year, we did not see any.
Blackcap in the garden of the cottage we were staying
in.

Buzzard also from the small Loch.

Buzzards above the Loch.
Just got back from a weeks holiday in bonny Scotland so over the next few days (weeks) I will be posting some images from there. These first few were taken on the way there at Loch Leven. Quite a few Swallows were flying around the visitor centre and I saw my first Tree Sparrows in a long time.
