Fox and hedgehog

I am still finding plenty to do during this lockdown. The animals are very obliging and visiting every night and as you can see they get on well together. The camera is put out most nights and takes anything up to 600 photo's, so I have plenty to do the following day. The photo's are only for record purposes so I know what came, how long it was there and what it got up to.
I have no control once the camera is set, so many photo's are discarded because the subject moved, was too close or partly in shot.  I only save one in about 100 shots. It keeps me busy while I am stuck at home. I now have 2 badgers, 4 hedgehogs and 3 foxes which visit on a regular basis.

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.
