I live in Northern England at 54.9 degrees North. In Canada this is winter icebergs and polar bears but here thanks to the North Atlantic Drift snow is infrequent and temperature below 20F is thought to be very cold. The coldest temperature that I have experienced in Scotland -13F but that was...

16th October a promising forecast and no other commitments so a 1hr drive to check on the Autumn colours. Our usual peak is the first week of November but as I type this we have a storm with gusts to 80mph with another forecast for Tuesday. Scotland is somewhat worse with stronger winds and 3...

Red Kites from Southern Scotland last Thursday. Up to 50 birds floating around but most stayed high They appear to be effortless gliders with a 6ft wingspan and a slender body weighing up to 3lb. So almost the wingspan of a bald eagle but only a third of the weight. They have a huge tail and...

Thanks Jameel.

Yes related to Elk but smaller, they go up to 600lbs although this one is a lot smaller than that. They lose a lot of weight during rutting so this one may well bulk up. Autumn colours are yet to come, I will post images and dates from past years. Ken

I think that someone introduced red deer into North America but from what I read they are rare.

Off to Southern Scotland for a morning of deer photography and an afternoon of red kites. Unfortunately the only stag within easy access was fairly docile despite lots of females around. The light was also flat but it was still nice to be out in the fresh air. It was also an opportunity to see...

A no-name set of falls in Torridon NW Scotland shot 1 yr ago this week on a cold, wet, miserable day. Ken

Some more images from my last visit. I get a little trigger happy and don't have pre-capture so when I think something interesting is going to happen I fire off a burst, often nothing happens. 835 images taken so I get tired finding the good ones. I am going back on Thursday to try and shoot...

From 17th October 2025, The Dundonnell river Torridon, NW Scotland. I have just recently processed them, I am that slow. There were much larger falls further up the river but getting to them looked difficult so I didn't try. Ken

This was our second visit on this trip and the conditions were much better for photography with waves and changeable light and even sunshine as we were leaving. The tide was too high to allow me to get into some of my preferred locations but despite this it was a very enjoyable morning's...

Newly processed images from NW Scotland. Ken

Thanks Trent, I could barely spot the birds when they were flying against the dark trees but the camera managed to keep track of them. I prefer the shots against this background rather than the sky. Ken

They are beautiful birds Jim and wonderful flyers, staying aloft with what looks like minimal effort. Ken

Multiple birds here. At one point there were upwards of 30 birds but mostly stayed several hundred feet away but my new 200-600 brought them a bit closer. #2 came soaring overhead. Ken

Thanks Michael, I use a Gitzo Systemic 3 which is pretty sturdy (not light) carbon fibre tripod. Ken

Assaranca waterfall, Donegal. We were driving to our next stop and I was looking for a waterfall that was in an online guidebook when we came round the corner and found this one. Right beside the road with a small car park, we sat and had lunch in the car. I have since found it online showing a...

Colour and mono version. The weather was challenging but at least the driving rain was at my back. I was aware that clambering over wet and slippery rocks was starting to get more difficult and dangerous. Five years ago I would have been skipping from one precarious location to another without a...

Yesterday in Southern Scotland. Ken
