Speyside, Scotland May 2013 — RSPB Guildford Group
I had heard such a lot of good reviews of Speyside so that when our local RSPB group announced that they were going there for the annual holiday I jumped at the chance to go. We had a fantastic holiday and the Speyside leaders were great. Below are a few of the photos I took.
Note: A licence is needed to photograph a category 1 bird such as a capercaillie. On this occasion the bird was at the side of a public road within a few yards of our vehicles and the picture was taken from the vehicle. The bird was not stressed by our presence nor by the taking of the photograph.
