Christmas Greetings to you all

 

White Kite

I spent many years traveling to the Elan valleys in Wales to practice my photography. I made some great friends there spent many a week over the years collecting my photo's. A white kite is not another species but a bird that hasn't developed a red pigment to colour its feathers so it remains white. 

I have only come across four birds of this nature in the past thirty years. It does occur in other species

These photographs were taken mainly on a farm that I visited several times a year. 

I no longer travel to Wales as my friends are no longer with us. Just occasionally a red kite flies over my house where I live just to remind me of the wonderful times I spent with my Welsh friends. I have in stock over 2500 photographs on the welsh red kite.

My secret fox haven

 

This is a selection of pictures taken at one of my locations of a few years ago. I am displaying these as it beyond my capabilities to venture out because of my age (86) and abilities.

They are all wild foxes and live in a corner of a private woodland where the owner does not allow the general public access. He loves animals as much as I do. So I vowed to keep the location a secret. 

The animals have learned this is a safe place and are looked after and have become very sociable and accept visitors as friends.

So for their sake I  shall keep the secret safe.
