There were loads of Linnets down at Kirkton bay this afternoon and I managed to get a few half decent shots.  I thought I had the ISO set at 1,600 but it was at 3,200 so the images are a bit grainy, but I did have a fairly fast shutter speed so I managed to get reasonably sharp images I guess.  These are really smart birds.  There were also lots of Lesser Redpolls, Linnets and a few Twite at Plockton this morning but sadly I didn't have my camera with me.

I also got a nice shot of Yellow Flag Iris on the maritime grassland above the saltmarsh at Kirkton and this shot of Kirkton Barn from an unusual angle down near the shore.  I like this antique effect for these old buildings and think it might be nice to put together a  collection of a few of these from the estate, maybe as an alternative calendar for next year?
