I decided to spend a few days in Scotland photographing Crested Tit with my good friend and Pro Photographer Pete Walkden. (https://www.petewalkden.co.uk). Highly recommended..

I had a marvellous time as always, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Heavy snow in the forest, some sunshine and blue skies, making conditions ideal.
 
I also spent sometime birding the coast around my base at Nairn, and managed to find the overwintering drake King Eider, small numbers of Long-tailed Duck, an adult Iceland Gull, 46 Scaup, Hooded Crow and a scattering of common waders.
 
At the Crested Tit site I managed to find a female Brambling amongst the Chaffinches and we had 4 Crested Tits.
 
Here are a few of the many photos of Crested Tit that I took during the workshops, along with a few others.
