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.

The final part of our holiday to the Forest of Dean and I have combined two days into one Blog. The first day saw my wife and I visit Symonds Yat where I took loads of photos of the view on my phone but only a few with the camera and they consisted of a couple of distant Peregrines and a Buzzard. The second day started at New Fancy Viewpoint in the hope of seeing Peregrines and Goshawk we didn’t see either. Then it was on to NT Westbury Court Gardens and finally Soudley Ponds.
