YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious of photographing birds.
Same place, same heron... it thought, perhaps, there would be more fish on my side of the moat?
Doubt it.

The Belted Galloway calf being nurtured by a surrogate milcher (poor coat condition, but she may be a Saler - or a cross of that breed).

Am 'nursing' the few wings shots I have on hand until I can garner some more!
This Grey Heron landed on the moat bank at Rothesay castle... there are no fish in there. At least, I didn't think so!

Shipping by... have a heap of shots all piling up for position here; this lot all happened on one day, so why not here also? It was back in May, a NATO naval maneuvers exercise, (I surmised from the number of foreign boats). I did note them all down, but won't put it all here. Just enjoy the capers - the M1096 was like a Border Collie herding its sheep!!!

The inner roof structure of the Isle of Bute Tourist Centre in Rothesay; it was originally a theatre and still serves the purpose of being the local (only) cinema for the island.
I took this in colour, but post processed into monochrome with a wee touch of 'grain'.

This pretty girl gull was nesting right beside one of entry points at Rothesay Castle (Isle of Bute), at ground level. I don't know which of us was more surprised on discovery!

The long lens and sat on my chair looking through the window again... I was intrigued by this little black capped red breasted fellow.... then realised it was just the shadow of the branch and it was a standard model robin!
