I traveled down to Aberdeen about three weeks ago, I had my car |
|
with me so I caught the ferry.. |
|
Paisley.. Thats where I met my daughter at her house, she had to |
|
put up wae her auld man for three weeks.. |
|
Paid a quick visit to RSPB Lochwinnoch, there I caught sight of |
|
the Tree-creeper, and others.. |
|

|
The next day it was down to Dumfries & Galloway.. |
|
I had to do a talk at the Sanquhar camera club, not have giving |
|
a talk before, it was quite nerve racking.. But Andy my mate |
|
told me it would be fine.. |
|
So my host showed me about the area, he took me to Wanlockhead |
|
then Leadhills, there I took these.. |
|
Grouse.. |

|
Then it was back to Sanquhar for the.... [gulp].... talk, but |
|
before we went, Andy took me up the. what must be the highest |
|
hill in Scotland, there we watched Red-grouse, then we went back |
|
down the hill and got this, its a female Perigrine at a |
|
distance.. |

|
Then it was time for the talk and slideshow. the people really |
|
liked my slideshow on the Auroras, and the Sei-whale feeding in |
|
Firth Voe and in fact they enjoyed all of it, and going by the |
|
upplause I got I may... [if i'm spared]... go back next year.. |
|
Part two to follow.. |
