Sorry for the delay in my blog but I have been fighting a vicious cough. I caught it around the start of June. During the month I kept my I on the foxes which turned up on time every evening often laying in the grass waiting for me. Feeling a lot better now I returned to the keyboard.This shot shows just how much they trust me. This was taken from my window early one morning.

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.
Personal contact is next, Mike. I am sure they will welcome you into their lives.

Hello Mike :=)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit. It feels good to be blogging again, but it is taking me a while to visit everyone. Lovely fox images, especially the early morning capture. I wonder if you sat in the garden, they would still come for a meal! I'm pleased you are recovering from a nasty cough and well enough to make this lovely post.
Take care
Sonjia.
Hello Sonjia, I know what it is like to play catch up, I'm doing it all the time. Unfortunately I have a couple of noisy dogs next door which the foxes are wary of, but they will get used to them.
DeleteTake care and best wishes.
Mike.
