Trying to learn macro shots - Pussy Willow.

It was a glorious day so we went to visit Murton Farm, near Forfar. It has a wildlife area as well as walks round lochs and a lovely Restaurant.

I decided it was time to begin to push myself with my camera so, having figured out proper macro settings, I tried to get some shots of pussy willow and gorse. It was a bit breezy, which didn't help. Then I tried to get some birds in flight, which I have found to be very difficult, but managed a few shots. Some of the other wild life were a bit more static and camera friendly.

If you want to catch a flavour of what is on offer at Murton Farm, see my Flikr set here - and any helpful hints would be appreciated.
