Back home on Loch Lochy it is a complete contrast, a huge area of water and relatively few birds. Any hope of getting a photograph usually requires a careful approach using a hide.

A few pairs of Kingfishers breed on the local rivers. For the past few autumns odd birds have turned up on the loch. No doubt attracted by the shoals of minnows and other small fish in the shallows at this time of year.
