As promised yesterday, I have edited some of my red squirrel and ptarmigan images. I've placed them in a gallery below for you to browse!

Now, on to todays shoots!
We left the cottages at 5 o'clock to make Loch Morlich for sunrise. The cloud was thick and only displaced slightly for about 5 minutes which gave a nice warm light to the clouds, however I was photographing mainly panoramic format to capture the mountains, forests and their reflections. As you may imagine the post processing on these files takes a little longer. I have a couple to show you below, however
There are a couple more which are currently being edited and these aren't finished, but I thought I would give you an idea of some images.
After the Loch, we travelled to Inverness to an area which we thought there may be some otter activity. One was spotted a few hundred yards out but it wasn't for long. However we walked around the area just to see what we could find. I captured these two swans in flight, above the water which was incredibly still and giving great reflections.

The final stop for the day was a red kite feeding station. For around 20 minutes we had three kites in the area flying across a background of pine trees which provided some great contrast against the red kites' colours. The added benefit was that at the distance they were feeding, you started to introduce some of the trees. I like how they came out as I am a fan of showing the subject amongst their habitat. Anyway, here's a couple of pictures to end today's blog!
Thanks for reading and I'm sorry for not posting much yesterday, but I hope this made up for it!
