Horse of the Woods

A few days in Scotland during winter to do a little photography was always going to be weather dependent. A window of opportunity last week gave us the chance to pay a visit.

Well I say a window of opportunity. The forecast was good; in actuality we had snow that threatened some of the higher passes on the A9.  The snow, wind and heavy rain showers didn’t stop us however and a walk in the sheltered forests gave an opportunity to photograph Capercailles, a bird due to its disturbance susceptibility, has to be left well alone later in the year.
