Wetlands trip

 After my success of late I took Jacque down to the Wetlands for lunch and of course my camera came as well. About 2 months ago I had a robin following me round the lake and I wrote of his memory as he had done it before. Well there he was again waiting for his mealworms which he duly received. Thats the 3rd time this has happened, must have a good memory.
Things are looking up, this egret stood outside the window while we had lunch. This shot was taken through a double glazed window.
The highlight of the day was the arrival of a kingfisher. Not a good shot as it was about 20m away and through the same window. It was improved with a little bit of help from photoshop. We ate our lunch all the time this was going on.

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.
