The lovely little Robin, bottom right, was hit with a gust of cold air parting the feathers on his chest and revealing a jet black under belly - who knew! So beautiful.
This, however, did stay still for me ....
Enjoy!

Scotland - Day Six ....
I never realised how difficult it is to take pictures of birds, those little suckers can't stay still for a nano second! This is the best I could do ....

ReplyDeleteMore great Photos Dianne.
ReplyDeleteI have great difficulty in trying to capture the birds ..as soon as i click..they fly away.
A little robin was here on my patio this morning.
who would have known that there was black under the bright red.
Enjoy your weekend.

Lovely! You did a brilliant "job", Dianne! I was never ever able to get so near with my camera to any bird - so far.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Best wishes for the 3. Advent Sunday,

Well, you were a tremendous success with those bird photos! Those little buggers really tick me off some times!
ReplyDeleteI have really been enjoying these photos you have been showing us of Scotland. The birds photos are absolutely FAB!!
ReplyDeleteBlack under belly.....I never knew! x
ReplyDeleteWOW! Every image is a moment snatched from time to come to US! Thank you again for this tour my precious one! Anita
ReplyDeleteDi,
ReplyDeleteYes I know, sometimes it seems they are saying, “I’m ready for my close-up, no wait, I’m ready for my close-up, no wait, I’m ready for my close-up, no wait, Oh forget it, I’m out of here”. And then with a flit they have flown.
But form the looks of things in your post; you were just one flit ahead of these beautiful fellows. You look to have caught the pheasant at his most regal. And the robin seems to have given you a “strippers tease”. All your posted captured shots are most wonderful and will be reminisced about long after this marvelous trip has ended. – gary
PS – the frozen spider webbing looks much like antique lace draping. You know, I have never noticed (or paid much attention) but the center of the web look much like how one would start a piece of crochet work, hmm, wonder what inspired the first person to ever crochet?
I am loving these posts! Gorgeous photography, you have captured nature as some of her finest moments throughout the trip! Beautiful little robin, I wonder how they stay warm all winter and the cobweb is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty darn fabulous!! Our robins in the U.S are so different. Very interesting!

ReplyDeleteGood morning dearest Di!
ReplyDeleteI thank you for coming to visit me and for leaving a comment. I think I am loosing readers!!!!!! Perhaps I am too maudlin? Too intense? Well, I appreciate your presence so much and the sadness in the world can only make me struggle to be MORE of a good person in the corners of my own world and try to make a difference.
I KNOW YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR VACATION! Be well my sweet friend! Anita

ReplyDeleteScotland is awesome, just watched a film on it. Sending my best wishes for
