First few days and first few snaps



I have decided to start a new blog for my wildlife snaps and videos.

I am currently on an expedition in Ardnamurchan in Scotland and it is beautiful! Here me and 3 other students are photographing and filming the wildlife that Scotland has to offer. I'm mainly focussing on macro photography because I think that some of the small critters are often overlooked, and they're pretty amazing! Here are a few of the snaps that I have taken so far.


Common Shiny Woodlouse Oniscus asellus


Weevil on Cain's bag


Slow worm Anguis fragilis


Drinker Moth Philudoria potatoria

Crab


(Tuesday 19th April)
We went for a walk down to the beach. We saw our first otter of the expedition but unfortunately I didn't get any snaps! However, here's some beasties that I did see on the way :)



Bumblebee



Moth



Common Lizard Lacerta vivipara


Tonight we are sitting and hoping for the Pine Marten to visit again, i've put out some chocolate bourbons and out cookies so fingers crossed!

  1. I have just found the various blogs re your Ardnamurchan expedition.
    I have a holiday booked soon and you guys have so wetted my appetite!
    Loved the macro shots - my macro attempts so far have been garden flowers with the odd bee on!
    I believe my two bassets no doubt going mad will limit my wildlife photography!
    All the more reason to enjoy yours!
