Interesting day yesterday, It started with the Mountain Hare, I took two cameras and two tripods. I walked [stumbled] over the moor at an angle so as not to spook the Hare.
Set-up my cameras, and took many pictures of it.

I then left my long lens and went to my other camera [it had a 10-20mm lens, it was trained on my long lens..

Then it happened.. The wind blew my camera to the ground luckily for me it landed on spagnum moss..

Later on it started to mist up in the view-finder..

I then went to look for the R.L.Buzzard.. I found it on top of a pylon [power post] parked up my car and got my tripod out the boot..

I was attaching the camera to the tripod when I spotted the R.L.B. flying past me. I only got two keepable pictures of it..

Then it was home.. But on the way I spotted a R.B.Merganser, parked the car and took its picture, then I noticed a bird in the Houb of Laxobigging, it was a goldeneye. Got a couple of flight shots of it, then it was home..

Me and the tripod..







This was what I was after.. The Mountain Hare..





Rough Legged Buzzard..



Goldeneye..





And last.. The R.B.Merganser..
