Day of the Lords 11,605 Report post Posted May 13, 2017 These are terrific snaps - I love the rainbow/Torridon one. Out of interest, do you camp out or stay in hotels/B&Bs? Cheers It varies tbh. If I've got my other half with me we'll stay in a self catering cottage for a week. Otherwise it's camps if I intend to kip on or near a mountain, or hostels/bunkhouses. Torridon was excellent though, we booked out my climbing club's cottage. Worked out at 43 quid each for 7 days 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These two are my favourite and the 'Tawny Owl chick' is magnificent. How long did it take you to get that shot? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 2 minutes mate. Just walking very slowly and came across it by sheer luck. Poor thing was knackered with the heat. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to edit it to read "one B&W snap of a stop sign" but you were too quick. Loved the woodpecker snaps. When we lived near Banchory I'd often hear a woody when I collected the weans from the school bus but never managed to see the fucker. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, cool wee birds although very aggressive fuckers. Here's a wee Swallow from this morning. Light was guff so could have been sharper but got pretty close anyway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
