NG Scotland 2019

[Birna Rørslett]

Apart from taking the opportunity of meeting my former and new NG friends, I was lured to Skye by the occurrence of a few rare or exotic aquatic plants.

Today I visited Loch Cill Chriosd with Robert (Seapy) and was very happy to find Potamogeton coloratus (Fen pondweed) on its only site on Skye.

As this is a submerged species I had no choice but to jump into the water (which wasn't very warm).

We went for a trip to Skye with the Gleneg Sky Ferry, a very interesting boat trip.
We did not see the Sea Eagle, but found an Otter.
We had music to many of our pictures

Very nice pictures Bent - and certainly also nice weather. As you might guess, I especially like the otter picture. I have only seen otters once - on Vancouver Island many years ago.
Have a nice continuation of the Nikongear get-together.

Hi Birna,

It seems you have a waterproof camera in your hand - do you have a picture of the Potamogeton coloratus as it grows submerged/floating?

Would have if I had checked in advance the battery wasn't depleted however, sampled many specimens and will take them back home to record all details in my aquaria.

we had a three hour drive and a four hour walk on Skye with some hours of photo shooting as breaks inbetween ...

Thank you for the kind words. I have seen otters before in the river flowing through Prato in Italy.

Pulled over quickly when I saw the unexpected flying of St.Andrews together with the Pride flag. Really made my day combined with the earlier find of the endearing Potamogeton.

Day 4 - hot and hazy - I shot mainly close-up subjects.

I am thoroughly enjoying all these fascinating and beautiful photographs — and regretting so much that it was not possible for me to be there with you all.

Thanks for sharing all this. I can at least enjoy it through your post. Looks like another fascinating NG meeting!

Thanks so much to everyone posting. I particularly appreciate seeing pictures of the unique small details as well as of the overall landscape.
