Ospreys In Flight

TheTamshee: has spent some considerable hours observing a "duet" of Ospreys in the yarrow valley while testing my newly acquired Swarovski spotting scope. This kit with up to 60 times zoom is top quality. My main focus has been on an adult male & juvenile which seem to be in prime condition. They have been spending most of the days soaring on the warm thermals above open stretches of the yarrow water and resting on favourite fence posts high up on the overlooking hillside. Photographing these majestic birds in flight has been quite challenging but very pleased with these shots.

Raptor Workshop - Dalhousie Castle

TheTamshee: spent the day with photographer Ron McCombe and a few other camera trigger snappers at Dalhousie Castle just outside Edinburgh. The plan for the day was to photograph the displaying birds of prey in woodland and open settings. The range of raptors available, was many and Falconary Scotland certainally know how to condition and train these fantastic birds.The Kestrel and Merlin were my favourites on the day; because it's not often you get the opportunity to get this close with camera in hand in the open country side. Thanks to everyone for a great day out.
