According to Rosanna Forbes, autumn's vibrant colors provide the perfect backdrop for capturing wildlife through photography. In an exclusive collection shared with Scottish Field, Rosanna showcases the beauty of the season through stunning images.
One such image features an urban fox in Edinburgh, cleverly camouflaged among the brambles. It's a sight that can easily go unnoticed if one blinks. Similarly, in Perthshire, a tawny owl blends in seamlessly with the autumn leaves, staking its claim on a tree hollow for the upcoming breeding season. These birds are known for being territorial and this one is no exception.
In Glenalmond, a small bank vole emerges from its safe haven to bask in the warm autumn sun. However, with the vulnerability to predators such as kestrels, it's a quick trip out into the daylight to gather a snack before retreating back to safety. Meanwhile, in Dumfries and Galloway, a red squirrel braves the elements to stock up on food for the winter. Unlike other animals, these squirrels do not hibernate and can be seen throughout the season, diligently collecting nuts from their storage spots.
For the male bullfinch in Edinburgh, it's a feast of berries as he enjoys the autumn bounty. These brightly colored birds are often seen feeding in pairs throughout the year, not just during the breeding season. With such fascinating stories, it's no wonder that Scottish Field is filled with captivating wildlife tales. To stay updated, readers can subscribe to receive the latest issue.
