Stock Photography: Angus
Loch of Lintrathen & Loch of Kinnordy
*Page under construction*
I have amassed a large collection of Stock Photography images which previously could be accessed via a link to Photographers Direct.com. This was a well-established website with well over one million images on record, supplied by thousands of photographers worldwide. However, in early 2019 the site folded
without warning or explanation, I suspect as the result of a downturn in the Stock Photography market. As an alternative means of displaying my stock images, I am in the early stages of creating a series of thumbnail gallery pages featuring shots previously held by PD in addition to those included in the main posts. Due to the large number of JPEG files I have not attempted to re-keyword individual files as before but have grouped them under general headings so that they can be accessed via a general search. Larger categories will be sub-divided and some subjects may be duplicated on one or more pages.

The RSPB Loch Kinnordy Reserve lies 1.5 miles (2.4km) west of Kirriemuir, beside the B951 road to Glen Isla. Apart from the small car park, information board and three hides overlooking the loch itself there are no other facilities. Admission is free although donations are welcome. The shallow loch lies in a natural basin surrounded by nutrient-rich farmland and consequently attracts a wide variety of wildlife including roe deer, red squirrels and otters. Various species of duck are usually present as are Coot, Moorhen, Heron and Water Rail.
The location is particularly scenic, especially on still days when the loch mirrors the surrounding landscape. The middle hide, known as `The Gullery`, takes its name from the Black-headed Gulls that nest on the vegetation-covered islets in front of it. In years gone by, almost 7,000 thousand pairs bred here but nowadays numbers are greatly reduced. Ospreys are regular visitors during the summer months.
