What am I gonna do now???

 Coronovirus seems to have put the mockers on all my plans for the coming months. So I am falling back on my infra-red cameras and whatever visits my garden during daylight hours.  The bluetits have returned after missing last spring. The female is sitting on eggs with the male busy feeding her.
I have had a robin closely inspecting the new open fronted nest box recently tucked into the hedge which has started to grow so it will soon be hidden from view. The local red kites appear to be favouring the woods at the back of my house quite often flying over the garden. So there seems to be something to look foreward to.

    That sounds pretty good to me Mike. Red Kites over the garden is something I could only dream off. Sounds like a few hours sat in the sun camera at the ready for you.

      Thanks Phil, I got really excited to think that I could carry on without leaving my garden.
      Keep well, 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.
