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

April 30th 2025 – Only on the patch, the sun was out, the breeze was light and I rarely head out much before lunch time so, what the heck eh? 08:30 and I was out! Shock, horror probe!!! Early bird etc. Actually that breeze was still a wee bit chilly so I had a light … More I went for a walk today

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!

13th Apr 2025
The weather has been mixed today after the spell of great, sunny days but it was expected and it’s not raining ….. yet. That said, we could do with some rain, maybe a downpour from midnight to 05:00?

Red Kite
11th Apr 2025
I was out for a walk today, up at the reservoir, probably my favourite walk. There were no cars in the car park when I got there, always a good sign for me. The sun was shining, the sky was mostly blue and a decent breeze was blowing. I was up here to spot the … More Red Kite
