I’ve been browsing through my 2014 images while attempting to do a general computer de-clutter and I came across these images from castle Espie.
The photograph of the Brent Geese on Strangford Lough reminded me that I’d written previously about the geese and how I didn’t have a long enough lens. I had found that the cost of hiring from England was prohibitive but I’d been told of an alternative spot on the lough and assured that my 70-200mm zoom would suffice. Well I’ve been to the suggested spot a few times but on each occasion either the geese or the weather refused to co-operate, although I have high hopes for the future. I hadn’t included a photograph of the geese in that original post so here’s one taken with my 70-200mm zoom.

I always photograph the ducks when I go to Castle Espie, they’re everywhere, but I don’t often post the photographs so I decided to include this image of a duck having a great time.
I’ve become aware lately that simply looking at the ground often reveals subjects that can make interesting photographs, especially in a place like Castle Espie.
