SUCCESS !

I have had for some time had small holes dug in the grass in my front garden. I had thought it was one of the foxes so I decided to put an infra-red camera out and see if I could find the culprit. Nothing happened for a few nights just the odd fox. Then this happened, the camera captured this image. It appears to be a badger (female) leaving the garden through a hole in the hedge. I must now find a way of getting her to visit on a more regular basis. It looks as though she has got a family so who knows. Wild animal count in the garden has now gone up to five. Grey squirrel, wood mouse, hedgehog, fox, badger.

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.
