One of the most attractive birds to breed up in the Lammermuir Hills,in the Scottish Borders,is the Golden Plover.Ollie and I came across a couple of different individuals but the one in the cotton grass was in a particularly attractive setting,I think.
Here are some of the images.

About Phil Mclean
Hi, my name is Phil Mclean.
I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees.
I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera.
Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment.
Thanks.
