Chaffinch,Goldfinch,Sparrowhawk,Chiffchaff, and others

Various shots from Lochwinnoch RSPB during August.

I've not been using the hide next to the centre latley as I have been out on the reserve trying to get some Osprey shots who are still fishing there. I have a distant shot of one with a fish but hoping to do much better before they head south. I have also been trying to get some Kingfisher shots on a river near the reserve and have bought some camouflage netting to help me out. Although I have seen them whiz by me I'm still hoping one will land on a nearby perch when I am there. Just need more time and patience.

A friend of mine managed to photograph a Marsh harrier and Osprey who were flying together over the loch. The Marsh harrier had a yellow tag which is unusual as they they supposedly stopped tagging them a while ago. I was under my netting at the river when I got the call about these two birds so I had to packup and head over hoping one, if not both would return, but no such luck.

Thanks Laura. I was back down at Lochwinnoch today to photograph the Kingfisher but another photographer was at my spot I have been using. So, I had to go and find another place, which I did and during the time I was setting up, the Kingfisher flew right past me. I stayed for about 3 hours but no sign of the bird again.

Aw what a shame! We have great luck spotting Kingfishers, but again, never to photograph!
