Small Bird Photography

There was a fresh covering of snow this morning & I spent some time in the photography hide at Lochwinnoch. This was the first time I had coped with a snowy background but by checking my histogram & with some help from photoshop it was a useful session.

I was freezing from sitting in the hide and by the time I had finished the wind had got up making it very cold outside.

I walked along the shore of the Barr Loch for about a quarter of a mile. There was lots of wildfowl on the loch mostly Wigeon & other common ducks. I also saw 2 or 3 Great Crested Grebe as well as Snipe, Sparrowhawk & Redwings & Fieldfare.
