All this running and jumping about has played havoc with my ‘getting out and taking pictures’ over the last week or two.I’ve been glued to the telly watching every sport possible and loving every minuet of it.I haven’t cried so much for ages and now I think I’m going through the withdrawal symptoms.Anyway I had to drag myself away occasionally to walk Ollie and here are a few images that we took down by the river.They were all taken with my 180mm macro lens,including the heron images.
On a sunny day,in the shallows.
While we were sat photographing the minnows,this heron slowly approached up the river towards us.
It took no notice of us,even when Ollie had a bit of a grumble at it.It did look nice backlit against the shadowed background.
It even turned around and walked back in front of us,before eventually flying off.
Probably in disgust because it wanted to lunch on the minnows we had been photographing.
That’s All Folks.
About Phil Mclean
Hi, my name is Phil Mclean.
I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees.
I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera.
Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment.
Thanks.

Thanks Lee.We get fantastic rain too.Just a bit too much of it!
