After a complete computer failure several weeks ago I was advised that it would be more economical to have a new one rather than attempt to repair it. This I did and I have been off line ever since. After much investigation over many days I have finally managed this post (I hope). I am sorry that I have been unable to reply to your posts. I hope that I will be able to return to normallity very soon. Mike.

Foxes in the garden
 |
| But she need not have worried it was only Junior having a lay down while waiting his turn at the food. |

All quiet again
 |
| After the incident of the other night all seems to be back to normal. Here are the pair of them enjoying their supper. Mum doesn't seem to be around, I am wondering if she is occupied with another family problem. |

Ghost in the garden
I put the infra-red camera out as usual still not having the chance to go out and do some real photography. I am not getting much in the garden at the moment so I was rather surprised to get these photo's.
 |
| This is Beatie an old dog fox who visits most evenings and I got several shots of him behaving rather oddly. |
 |
| A couple of shots later I got this one with something flying over his head. It did not occur to me what it was until a couple of shots later when I realised it was Junior making a rapid entry. The suddeness of the entry frightened Beatie and it took him about 10 minutes to get over it. |

About Me
- Mike Attwood
- 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.
