Great Crested Grebe

Birds again this week and a Great Crested Grebe. We where hoping for one of those magical moments with a pair of grebes displaying together but I think they had had a tiff. I was just happy to see them so close and photograph them for the first time.

Great Crested Grebe

We seem to be turning into bird photographers at the moment and spent a couple of afternoons this week photographing the Grebes at Mere Sands Wood whilst trying to decide which camera is the sharpest.

Snipe at 1600 ISO !

Getting better at this bird photography, must be the new camera. I was pleased to see this Snipe at Leighton Moss and took a few snaps in very poor light never thinking I would get a usable shot.

Aviemore and a frozen Loch Morlich


Gizzies Travels 2013 got off to a flying start with a trip to the Cairngorms. We could not go to Aviemore without going down to see Loch Morlich and it's resident flock of mallards however much to our surprise it was frozen over.
