came shining softly through my window today ....Its been a hard winter here in the Highlands and slipping/sliding and freezing ones proverbials can get a bit wearisome after a while-there may still be some cold blasts but the season is progressing and it wont persist. What I'm really looking forward to is the return of the ospreys, toward the end of the month i'll be scanning the sky looking for a familiar outline. Theres a large female I would see regularly last year and hope to again- its a hazardous lifestyle being an osprey, alls sorts of perils to avoid in there migrations. I only have a modest camera to take pics with and even less skill but one in a hundred shots might be passable. The following pic I was quite pleased with- I crept through the grass with a bemused Murphy [my dog] in tow and when I arose to take the shot the bird saw me and lifted off as I pressed the button. Fishing for me also commences around April so I do have a kind of affinity with ospreys and I like there style
