When we were up at the Butt of Lewis I was standing by a wee lochan (about which I posted earlier today) when I realised that there were a lot of Dunlin around the edges having a feed. As I stood there one little chap or chappess came within three or four metres of me and seemed totally unconcerned by my snapping away:
The forth one is a gem. I've not seen any this summer but then I've ignored the seaside.
ReplyDeleteGreat, crisp shots!
ReplyDeletefantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. ;^) Reminds me of hawk feathers in the last photo as he's flying away....
ReplyDeleteBird unknown to me (until now)... Beautiful pictures. I'm thrilled even when it's a common mallard that lets me get that close to take photos... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I was quite chuffed just to be so close.
ReplyDeleteThe lochan was possibly about 30 metres (judging size isn't one of my strong points - come to think of it....) long so I suppose it wasn't very small but for a loch on the machair it's quite small.
