Good old Caithness wildlife.

Not exactly sure if you would call these photos, I like to call it a record for ID purposes. Fingers crossed it may be there tomorrow.

Kas,

As I said on flickr, I love the shot of the Otter, the bright light in the Duck image also makes it very successful.

fantastic pics. What sort of camera and set up do you use to get that sort of quality? I wish all pics had a bit of info on Camera/ lens etc.

Thanks everyone.

Clyde I was using a Canon 40D with a 100-400mm zoom lens. All were taken at 400mm magnification. The otter and Goldeneye have been cropped as well.
