Sunny Sunday on the Lammermuir Hills, Scottish Borders
We had some sun today for the first time in two weeks so I have a run around the Lammermuirs to see what I could find. I wanted to check out the mountain hares again in good light in particular.
I met an a fellow photographer up at the top of the hill, the much renowned Laurie Campbell. Laurie lives in the Borders and is one of the UK’s finest wildlife photographers.
I found a few interesting species today including some more mountain hares at close quarters. These are some of the picture I took today……
Buzzard
Red Grouse in a Hawthorn Bush
A pair of Wigeon in flight in The Whiteadder Loch
Red Legged Partridge

About Ron McCombe
I live in the Scottish Borders near Coldstream and like to photograph the local wildlife. Northumberland and South East Scotland have an abundance of natural history with sites such as Bass Rock, The Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Lammermuir Hills.
I have also traveled extensively throughout Europe, visiting Norway Sweden, Finland, Poland and Spain. I have also traveled the USA and Canada.
But I have to say I prefer Scotland, the lowlands, the highland and islands, Scotland has an abundance of wildlife to be photographed and enjoyed. I like to visit the Isle of Mull when I can, the wildlife and the scenery is stunning, some great species here to photograph, white tailed eagles, otters and red deer to name but a few.
You should come along and take a look
