Hi everyone,
I returned from my 2 week holiday in Scotland yesterday!
Had a brilliant time spotting wildlife and trying to photograph it, saw some wonderful species including: Otter, White Tailed Sea Eagle, Red Deer, Mountain Hare, Bottlenose Dolphin, Pine Marten, Puffin and Gannet!
Will try and get some photos processed and a blog up at some point but I took over 2,000 images so it could be a while!
Ben
Thanks Bob!
Welcome back, Ben. How was the weather (and the midges) as I believe you were camping? Looking forward to seeing a few photos.

Hi TeeJay!
The weather was amazing, nearly every day was blue skies and sunshine, temps hitting 25 degrees on our last day on Mull! Only 2 cloudy days and even they weren't that bad! Had a rain shower on top of Cairngorm but I was too busy photographing Snow Buntings and a few showers during the night...but who doesn't love the sound of rain on a tent!
Midges were bearable...just! Smidge helped!
Dead jealous about this,we should have been up on the Ardnamuchan peninsular about 5 weeks ago but health problems overtook me but at least I can get the chance to have another try.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Sounds like an awesome trip with some fantastic sightings Ben so look forward to your photos in due course :)
