Old faithfulls

 With the wildlife depleting in my area I havn't done much in the way of photography. The wildlife locally has been much affected by the demise of the insect life. Small birds and animals have almost disappeared through lack of food. Probable cause either air polution or farmers overdoing the crop feeding. But the peregrines soldier on travelling much further to feed.
A better day weatherwise I decided to see how the peregrine pair were doing and there they were sitting in their favourite spot enjoying the afternoon sunshine.

    You're very lucky to have these close to you to be able to study. Hopefully they will keep you occupied during the next few months.

    Thanks Marc, I am hoping they will keep me busy for a lot longer than that.

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.
