Muff Woods – Revisited

1 Reply

It’s been a while since I’ve posted (6 months) – but that’s not to say I haven’t been taken any photos. I’ve just been busy with my other hobbies i.e. Music and Computers and haven’t had time to post or even get around to editing photos which I had taken. That’s something I need to work on – I’ve never been one to go out shooting photographs, diving home to check them and get them uploaded etc..It normally takes me a little while to get the courage to look at them.

Anyway, I’ve started to try and catch up on everything, so I’ve started with a another photo shoot up at Muff Woods ( I must get the proper name of the place again), which I went to with a friend of mine from work, back in November. We went looking for the little red squirrels again. Luckily, there were 2 little devils running around the place – unluckily, they were going a little too fast for me to get many good shots. I did however get this one, which I quite like.

There are also a lot of little birds fly about around the woods – these boys are very hard to photograph, as they move that quick. However I was lucky to get a shot of a Chaffinch sitting of a branch. Quite happy with this shot.

Trip around Inch and Back to Muff Woods

Hi

Earlier in the week, I went to Muff Woods with my wifes uncle Sean, to try and capture more (or better) photos of the red squirrels and some birds. I managed to get more photos – as to whether they’re better or not, is another matter. They’re quite agile and it’s hard to get them to stay in one place long to get a good focus on them. Lack of experience is another reason. You can see the photos on my Flickr Account – Here’s one of the pics to give you an example.

We also went on a sight seeing trip around Inch, where he showed me where to find Herons, Pheasants and some beautiful scenery. Along the way we passed a field which had some lambs running around, I then spotted a young lamb just sitting looking around and managed to get a shot of it.

For more pics – check out my flickr site using the “more photos” link.
