Local
I arrived home tonight to find this guy on the bird table. One of a family that have been coming to our bird table for 20 years!Tuesday, 29 April 2008
Moorfoot Hills
Looking the other way was a different storm in the distance! Birds seen here this week include buzzard, kestrel, several snipe, curlew, pheasant (nearly got itself run over!), oystercatchers, short-eared owl and heard a grasshopper warbler!Pentland Hills
I was sitting at my computer, when suddenly there was an almighty flash of lightning and crash of thunder. I dashed out and caught the tail end of this passing storm. Unfortunately there was no more lightning... so ended my evening of storm chasing!Auchencorth Moss
We have been getting a lot of weather on the Moss recently. Apart from photography it is a great place for bird-watching!Monday, 28 April 2008

Blue Tit
The Blue Tit dives in and dives out very very quickly. I have a lot of pictures of either a blue and yellow blur, or, an empty bird table - the latter make me :-)!
Town Hall pigeon
The bird table was moved today out of range of a kitten. It puzzled some of the birds! The pigeons were almost the last to visit the table in the new location. The blackbirds have closely watched but have not ventured onto the table.

Exit
I was fortunate to have a spare hour during a day visit to London. Just as the light was getting interesting - bright sunlit buildings against a darkening sky, I had to leave to catch the plane back home :-)

Strange light
As the light rapidly faded a distant shower was highlighted over the moor road... time for home! 
Pentland Hills
Light and dark... at this point it was about 8 deg C colder and it started to rain/hail

Stormy sunset over West Bay North Berwick
This and the remaining images today were taken in the cold windy pouring rain
Yellowcraigs, East Lothian
View from a des res - at least it was dry in there - great for changing lenses in the rain!

North Berwick
The wandering photographer braved a soaking by going to the end of the rocky headland to the right of the spray to get the next two images!North Berwick
From snowy landscape to sea, the wandering photographer visited the wild sea in the afternoonPentland Hills
Fresh snow, overcast, very cold biting wind, outside 24 hours, sheep here are very hardy... more than can be said of the wandering photographer!

Auchencorth Moss looking towards the Moorfoot Hills
Again, a distant squall is bathed in a weak red light as the sun sets. The snow covered Moorfoots can be seen behind. After this the frozen wandering photographer went home for hot chai!Auchencorth Moss
As the sun set, the red light lit up a squall over the moor road. These squalls have been heavy hailstonesPentland Hills from Auchencorth Moss
A 'wow' sky... if you like stormy weather! The last rays of the sun are just catching the hills on the extreme right.
Auchencorth Moss
This evening temperatures dropped to zero with a very strong cold wind, the higher hills has a thin veneer of snow. As you can see it was stormyCarnethy Hill, Pentland Hills
As you can see the wandering photographer escaped to press his shutter another day!Carnethy Hill, Pentland Hills
A bright light descended from the dark clouds onto a lone walker, within seconds he was gone! Carnethy Hill, Pentland Hills
Looking down across Auchencorth Moss towards the Moorfoot Hills and a few passing storms

A lone mountain biker on the flat top of Scald Law. I watched him carry his bike up.Scald Law, Pentland Hills
