Go Charlie Go !

Hi Everyone, Now this isn't the greatest photo that I have ever taken but it's the first time that young Charlie has been snapped by me from quite a distance at North Kessock with a lovely fish in his mouth. The light was rubbish and the photo is...

Where Do You Look Next ?

Hi Everyone, It was perhaps a good idea of mine to stay in North Kessock this morning to get fresh pictures of Kesslet and Charlie (who I haven't photographed properly for weeks) as the tide was coming in, the weather was calm and there was a big...
