Redshank and Golden Plover.

The Redshank and Golden Plover are two of the more attractive birds that come into the Lammermuir Hills and surrounding moorland to breed in the spring/summer.The redshank posed briefly on moorland before flying a little way off and calling its’ four chicks to safety under its’ wings.While the golden plover was up in the hills,again where it posed briefly before flying a little way off to provide some habitat shots.On both occasions the birds were photographed from the car,beanbag on the window and Ollie in the back,observing.

I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera.
