Getting desperate

 Getting desperate now. For almost two weeks now I haven't had a bird in the garden. I took a trip down to Pulborough Brooks this afternoon with no improvement in my luck. On the way I spotted these fallow deer in the woods not knowing that they were going to be the best shot of the day.
At the Brooks there was little to see. I sat for an hour in Westmead hide where hearing a buzzard and spotting a couple of wood pigeons, I watched the rabbits.

      Hi Ken,
      Sorry I'm a bit behind, been off line for a few days. The local deer are pretty good for me too. Mike.

    It is a very quiet time of year Mike. No bird migration and too many grey days are no good for camera people like us.

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
