Scotland 2009


Got back from Scotland yesterday after a train journey of 14 hrs. Was somewhat disappionted that so many species were far away and could not be photographed. The White-tailed Eagles were at least a mile away. This is the first time we have had good views of Waxwing and we were amazed how they all left the tree at the same time and dived headlong into a nearby shrub loaded with berries. John missed the Crestie when we were up there 5-6 years ago but was successful this time around.

  5. Great pictures, a real selection.
    I reckon you two have to be the Alan Whicker and Judith Chalmers of birding holidays.
