Great shots Martin, we are going up to Scotland in a couple of years. Going to hire a camper, then stay near Ben Nevis to do a day photographing the Chequered Skipper. Then move on to Mull for a guided Eagle tour and a day on a Whale survey ship.

Martin,
Thanks for the link, it looks a spot on place to stay

I've book marked it ready for our trip to Scotland.
Not sure when yet, but its on our "must do" list.

I assumed you drove a Mitsubishi, Martin, but now I'm much more impressed! Nice wheels and great pics... I'm going to steal your idea for the second one and take a similar pic of my mkV GTi... but I think it's never going to look quite as impressive (despite the imminent delivery of a new 40D

)...
Best way to end a day butterflying is to get back on the winding A684 from the Lakes to North Yorks and unwind, terrorising motorcyclists as you appear from nowhere in their wing-mirrors...

The rock pipit looks good to me! A picture showing the breast would help to confirm it, but even in that picture you can see a bold stripe on the flanks and there is little striping on the back.

I would say that's a classic rock pipit, right down to its dark legs!

Cool shots Dave! I am going out tomorrow to see if I can get Brent Geese shots, but with a compact, its not easy, will do my best though.

Well, winter seems to have arrived (roughly 12 months late) on my little corner of Alp:
Asha is looking for manto ringlets and blues, which abounded here when we last came up, in August. Today, just a string of single-minded red admirals crusing by, never stopping.
