Coal Tit Capers
I’ve managed to get images of most of the common small birds around, but the Coal Tit was particularly problematic. Trouble is they are so fidgety; they move so fast; don’t stay still for a second. I’ve had several shots of them disappearing off the side of the frame, or a clear shot of their rear end as they turn so quickly.

Monochrome Monday
In the Deep Wood
It’s Saturday. The country park is busy; I get the last parking space. People are not abroad sunning themselves on beaches, or going en-masse to shopping malls: cinemas and sports clubs are shut. But they can come to the parks and many have done so.
I need space and so walk the quiet peripheral trails, looking for some natural compositions. Walking through the woods, lush green above; moving along the river: torrents from recent rains.

In response to Forestwood’s Friendly Friday Challenge for this week, which is looking for some close-up and macro images.
I picked some out of my collection of macro images, mostly a variety of insects, hopefully putting some emphasis on colour. The one at the top is of rowanberries which are just coming into colour here at the moment. Hope you like them!

Monochrome Monday
Many guys that do this wear black wet suits. Against the sea background they seem almost in mono anyway. But then there’s a wee bit or bright blue or orange on the board itself, which stands out so much – it looks strange. So the answer is to convert it all to black and white for a Monchrome Monday.
One more image to follow on from yesterday’s Kitesurfing post
Kitesurfers at Troon
Watersport in the high winds
Kitesurfers thoroughly enjoy these windy conditions and roaring waves. I hadn’t seen them jump so high before and moving so fast on the water.

In response to SandyL’s Friendly Friday challenge, and this week the subject is ‘Shadows’.
It’s a great subject choice but I’m amazed how few photographs of shadows I have,……. though there are plenty of shade, and loads of reflections. And what I’ve got here are a bit of a mixed bunch.
