Welcome
to Watching Nature
We use Google maps on this site
for a sense of where a
photograph was taken.
The driving force of this website is nature inspired digital photography. The Blog chronicles our expeditions, from 2015, on a Sunday to photograph nature in action at places all over Scotland, weather, and breakfast venue, permitting. The best of the photographs are added to the various Galleries. From November 2024 the Blog now chronicles Jim's travels throughout the WHOLE week to places local and further afield. Due to Covid 19 restrictions, Jim was nature-watching on his own from March 2020 until 2nd May 2021. The Blogs during that time were the product of local exercise walks and observations in his garden. We've added a Blog Archive menu option where you can " visit " the places we've been since 2015. From September 2019 we've added a Highlights section for photographs considered the best of the month and more recently, a Highlights Archive for easier access. Click on Galleries for an index of all the species on the website or click on Flora , Fungi/Lichen/Slime Moulds, Vertebrates or Invertebrates for indexed thumbnail images which may help you to identify something you have come across. While in the galleries, click on this  to see species data.Maps Nesting In taking pictures of nesting birds, great care is taken to avoid disturbing the birds. A telephoto lens is always used at a concealed position some distance from the nest. Wildflowers On the wildflower pages, we have reproduced some folklore on the history of medicinal properties associated with the flower. Watching Nature can not take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of plants. Always seek advice from a professional before using a plant medicinally or as food. Fungi When picking any Fungus for consumption, caution should be exercised at all times. Always seek advice from a professional before using a plant medicinally or as food.
