Wings on Wednesday - 
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in photographing birds.

Having had quite a lot of fieldfares around, I was pretty sure that was what I was seeing - with my naked eye. 

When I saw what the Fudge caught, though - that blushing below the wing - I realised it was a REDWING!!! Red status and it was certainly my first sighting of one since I moved here four years ago. Only this shot, sadly.

Shipping by...



A dredge-vessel in the Holy Loch. It's attached to the marina at Sandbank. The loch is relatively shallow and the wash of the Clyde (off which it juts) means it silts up regularly.

Monday's Critters

There has been a sad lack of critter shots getting done of late. Am resorting again to the Cairngorms trip. Here's Bertie Boffin being photographed by his owner and the pair of them being photographed by the Fudge and it all getting reflected in the mirror cube...
