Crested Tit, Black Isle

Quite possibly my favourite of all the many crestie images I've taken!

House sparrow on a frosty morning

I confess I love the photo, I could have chosen one with the sparrow facing forwards, but the fanned tail and gorgeous plumage of the wings shows the bird off beautifully.

Garden Blue Tit

I have many many birds visiting my Highland garden but I do find the blue tits to be the most photogenic.

Blue Tit in Blossom

Photographed in my garden, I have lots of fruit trees, and spring was a joy!

Blue Tit in Beech Tree

I think I like wide-angle images best of all, and I like the simplicity of this one photographed in my local wood in April when the beech trees were clinging on to a few of the old leaves whilst the buds appeared with the new.

Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

I've been enjoying numerous woodpecker sightings at my woodland hide and it was especially lovely when the fledgling appeared in June. On this occasion it was on its own and was trying to figure out how to feed itself - wonderful to watch!

Chiff Chaff

Lovely to see some warblers in my local deciduous wood. I think this is a chiff chaff!

Snow bunting

I was delighted to find the snow buntings at the Cairngorm Mountain carpark in March after a day of heavy snow, and (amazingly) no wind!
