Still looking

I am being tormented at the moment. EE and BT cannot make up their minds on whose fault it was when I was cut off for over a week because of a loose wire in a box down the road from me. I lost my internet, my home phone and safe-link which is very important for Jacque's welfare. On top of that I have to drive a couple of miles from my home to get a signal on my mobile. Not even a letter of apology. On top of this the hedgehogs have been driven away by the people next door, builders a hundred yards away from me have cut down trees that shaded the site they were working on which has disturbed the birds nesting and on top of all this my village has been classed as one of the most polluted places in the country. No wonder there is a lack of wildlife here, except of course the peregrines who never seem to let me down.

    Oh dear Mike. That sounds awful. Hope it all picks up for you. Hopefully the Peregrines will keep you occupied.

      Yes Marc. It seems that the wildlife is the only thing that I can depend on as long as humans don't interfere.

      Hi Ana, with all the set-backs I've had in the past three weeks it is good to achieve something. I can always trust the peregrines not to let me down. Take care, Mike.

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.
