Roe Deer in the Snow at Duns
The final day of 2009, the weather was again very snowy, we had about three inches of snow around day break. It has been very cold and Icy over the last few weeks. I think this makes things very difficult for our mammals to feed, so its less difficult to see the deer in particular as they feed longer into the day. This obviously gives greater opportunities to photograph them. The fist picture shows how well they blend into the back ground

The forecast was for a bright day today, so I went down to Berwick upon Tweed t Little beach to get some pictures of the waders. At this time of year the beach usually hosts purple sandpiper, along with sanderling, dunlin, ringed plover and a few redshank. The temperature at the beach was -6°c and with the wind chill was almost -10°c. I was there for about three hours and I don’t think I have been as cold as this before. The light was fantastic and showed the birds off very well. These are a few of the pictures

We (my wife Lynn and I) went out today for little air before the festivities this morning. It was quite sunny but still very cold. I saw a few Red Legged Partridges scratching around in the snow for food. I managed to get reasonably close to get these shots. I like the texture of the snow around the birds and the light was excellent. Canon 500mm f4 lens, f4, 1/2500sec, ISO 320 Merry Christmas
