    Clods of earth

    My friend and I set off last Sunday, a bit unsure where to go, but first of all we went to investigate the flooded areas between Alyth and Meigle, from which I picked up a few year ticks. Then we went on a drive round the hills towards Kinnordy. On route we stopped to scan around some stubble...

    Bit distant

    On my way home from Kinnordy that day I spotted what I hoped was.... pulled the car over, jumped out; found it in the view finder and sure enough.... Red Kite!! Such beautiful fliers these. But pretty rare in this area still. Just managed to get him before he went behind the trees.

    Swallow

    On a recent visit to Kinnordy I saw some Swallows sitting on a wire. Thanks to Shirley, who started a thread about camera settings for this scenario, I managed a shot or two... not brilliant, but my best efforts so far. I couldn't get too close, as the wire was in the field. This guy looks like...

    Red-legged Partridge

    On one of our trips to Kinnordy, driving along a back country road, the RLP was playing silly b*s with the car. Eventually, though I managed to steer it into a field gate, and thought that would be the last we saw of it. But he played nice and let us take a picture.
