Cotton Grass


While on our recent trip to the Outer Hebrides there was a lot of open moorland and peat bogs which is the perfect place to spot Cotton Grass.

Cotton Grass (Eriophorum angustifolium) is very distinctive with it's fluffy white head that looks like someone has opened a bag of cotton wool and emptied it onto the landscape. We stopped near one peat bog near Tarbert on the Isle of Harris and the windy conditions was making the Cotton Grass heads wave like flags in a stiff breeze.

Using the Fujifilm X-Pro1 fitted with the Fujinon 55-200mm telezoom I was able to isolate patches of Cotton Grass and throw the background out of focus with a wide aperture.
