Had an amazingly exhilarating afternoon watching the Red Arrows training over the Tain Range on Thursday. Pics taken on Nikon z8 with a Sigma 120-400 mm lens - could have done with something a little wider but same zoom. Every day is a school day 😁 #photography #RedArrows #FunDayOut

Cormorant sitting on the pier at Thurso Harbour - I always think there is an air of aloofness ( is that a word?) about them, with the swagger of confidence whether standing posing or swimming around. #birds #ukseabirds #birding #CaithnessBirds
