My final visit to Lochwinnoch

Today was probabilly my last visit to this RSPB reserve as I am only up in Scotland for one more weekend and I am probabilly busy both days.  It was a good day albeit a bit slow with lots of Chaffinches and tits but the few other birds that appeared more than made up for it and the company made the gaps between them go quickly!  We got treated to a Sparrowhawk but unfortunatly it only landed on some green wire a long way away in the shade but it was still great to see, the Greater Spotted Woodpeckers also came twice but played hard to get by hiding on the wrong side of the perch.  Due to the slow day in the middle I had a wonder over to the hide in the woods where it was very dark but there were two Juvenile Robins about which was great.

RSPB Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve

Having recently added a 300mm f/4 to my collection of lenses I figured it was about time I did some bird photography, so I have headed out to my current local spot which while I am up in Glasgow is the RSPB site at Lochwinnoch. It has proved a good challenge and is also surprisingly enjoyable with every time I have headed to the hide having met other people there who have provided good company.
