Our Mistle Thrush
25th May 2025
I’m always harping on about how lucky we are to have all the birds we do as garden visitors but, to have a Mistle Thrush drop in on a regular basis is pretty special to me. I’ve added this unedited shot to show what I actually managed to capture, I’m often reacting quickly to an … More Our Mistle Thrush

Some enchanted evening
11th May 2025
May 10th, I’d been keeping an eye on the fading colours in the sky, through a North facing window, the patio curtains were shut, the sun beat sin all afternoon and the living room get so warm, not complaining! I opened the curtains just before 21:00 / 9 pm and grabbed a camera. Sometimes I … More Some enchanted evening
Star trails, Aurora and a Meteorite?
1st May 2025
This is the sister (or brother) post to It Rained, I’d like to expand on the night / morning activities I captured.
I set the camera up to start at 10:45 and went to bed (we’re old now, allegedly, so we head for bed and read. … More Star trails, Aurora and a Meteorite?
The Tree Line
1st May 2025
There are two lanes that lead up to this property, one leads up a pretty steep hill if you’re walking and the other is a little more bumpy and undulating but essentially without the steep hill. When we first drove to view the house, we soon realised we hadn’t taken the topography into account. I … More The Tree Line
Photographing wildlife?
26th Apr 2025
I’m not sure how many of you out there, who check my blog, photograph birds, possibly among other things like me? It can be hugely rewarding if you do, not only spotting a bird or other animal you’ve wanted to photograph for ages but getting that great shot, even of those common birds we see … More Photographing wildlife?
Our Garden Visitors (R)
25th Apr 2025
Red-legged Partridge I have mentioned that we live on a farm, in the country haven’t I? Hence we get Pheasant and Partridge in the garden, which is nice. Both species of Partridge drop in now and again and we see and hear them in the surrounding area quite often, this is not a hunted area! … More Our Garden Visitors (R)
Not a great day of birding
24th Apr 2025
I went out for my patch wander yesterday April 23rd, it wasn’t a great day but I like to get out for a walk at least once a day. It was one of those days when the sun shone it was quite warm, when it didn’t it felt freezing so, I eventually decided a t-shirt … More Not a great day of birding
Finally!
14th Apr 2025
We’ve now lived in this rural location for just over three years and in that time I’ve had so many fabulous photographical experiences. Birds I thought I’d never see, live in our hedges. Raptors I wasn’t aware of can be seen, some yet to be photographed. A pair of White-tailed Eagles flying over my head. … More Finally!
