I'm going bats.

 I have spent a lot of time over the past few months searching for the wildlife that has disappeared from my neighborhood. The hedgehogs have gone, the foxes are rarely seen, barn owls, all the small garden birds, red kites that have been seen over my house, all gone. Because I have not been up to it the garden has fallen into a bit of  a wild area this has resulted in many wild flowers growing on the lawn, which in turn has attracted the insects. This summer we have grasshoppers, crickets loads of butterflies and moths and now we have bats every evening. This has given me a new area for my photography. These two photo's are my first attempt at capturing movement with the aid of flash. I am not a lover of flash but I can see a good use for it. I can now sit in my garden in the evening and enjoy my photography again. Not my best photo's but I have the will to improve.
