Karen the Artist's Blog: July 2014
http://wildlifescotland.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 July 2014. Scourie Bay, Sutherland. One of the first places we visited on our recent holiday to the far north west of Scotland, was Scourie Bay. A beautiful inlet of turquoise water, surrounded by a rocky coastline. A stunning sandy beach lines the head of the inlet, and there is also a hide filled with useful information on the area and its wildlife. Ringed Plovers scurried across the white sands, their little legs seemingly moving at warp speed! Old Man of Stoer. Great Skua, aka 'Bonxie'.

Karen the Artist's Blog: Eagle Antics Celebrates Scotland's 100 White-tailed Eagle Pairs
http://wildlifescotland.blogspot.com/2015/06/eagle-antics-celebrates-scotlands-100.html
Monday, 1 June 2015. Eagle Antics Celebrates Scotland's 100 White-tailed Eagle Pairs. The news broke last week on BBC Springwatch. That Scotland's White-tailed Eagle population has reached a milestone, with the 100th breeding pair reached this year. Not only that, but the 100th pair are the first in Orkney for 142 years! To celebrate this milestone, I was asked recently if I would create an Eagle Antics. Cartoon ready for the big reveal. Part one: Who will win? Congratulations to Scotland's 100!

Karen the Artist's Blog: Fundraising for Scotland's Red Kites
http://wildlifescotland.blogspot.com/2015/04/fundraising-for-scotlands-red-kites.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Fundraising for Scotland's Red Kites. I am selling open edition prints of my Red Kite drawing that was successfully auctioned in September 2014. The online auction. Raised £70 for the RSPB, and the funds are being used to help monitor Kites in the Black Isle/Ross-shire area. All profits from the sale of prints will be donated to help Red Kite conservation in Scotland. If you would like to see one of the prints 'in the flesh', there is one on display at Argaty Red Kites. Frank, tha...

Wednesday, 17 September 2014. Return to Mull, September 2014. I finally made a return to Mull this year after my earlier week there in March. This time I was camping, so only managed a night's stay, but there was plenty of White-tailed Eagle action for me to enjoy during my short visit. Within half an hour of arriving, we were walking alongside Loch na Keal and two White-tailed Eagles flew over, heading out across the loch. Two juveniles soaring by the Red Deer, a great size comparison. Before the youngs...

Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Smoo Cave, Sutherland. The day started overcast as we arrived at the car park for Smoo Cave. Having walked down the flight of steps, we were greeted by the huge entrance to Smoo Cave, carved out of the surrounding limestone. Inside the cave, we walked to the viewing platform and saw the waterfall, cascading down from the river above. The cliffs echoed to the sounds of nesting Fulmars. Looking back to the cave entrance. Wednesday, 6 August 2014. And used with his kind permission.

Thursday, 22 January 2015. Ice, Loch Leven. Photos of a very cold looking Loch Leven taken over the last couple of days. Ice formations by the shore at Burleigh Sands. 169; Karen Hartnell - all images and text may not be reproduced in any way. 2014: My White-tailed Eagle Year. I think 2014 has been my most exciting year so far for White-tailed Eagle watching. Here's a few photos and summary of some of my sightings throughout the year. Flying above St Serf's Island, Loch Leven. Is an eagle I had last seen...

Karen the Artist's Blog: Isle of Mull, March 2015: Part 3 - Weather Extremes
http://wildlifescotland.blogspot.com/2015/04/isle-of-mull-march-2015-part-3-weather.html
Friday, 24 April 2015. Isle of Mull, March 2015: Part 3 - Weather Extremes. A very wet and windy start to the day, with a new dusting of snow gracing the top of the higher hills. The forecast showed it would get worse as the day progressed, so we decided on a nearby walk along Glen Forsa. Battered by the wind and torrential rain - we only went out so Mr Labrador could have his walk - I just about managed to spot Curlew, a couple of Greylag Geese, two Buzzards and plenty of soggy Highland cattle. A short ...

Friday, 15 May 2015. Gullane and North Berwick - 5th April 2015. Photos taken on 5th April - it's taken me this long to look at the photos! A warm day and plenty of sunshine once the early fog cleared, and the bonus of a couple of exciting sightings: Red and Black-throated Divers. Carrion Crows on Gullane Beach. Carrion Crows, with Gannets above their heads as they fly in the distance. Red-throated Diver in winter plumage. Roe Deer bounces away over the dunes, its rump like two white pom poms!
