Apologies


 Please accept my sincere apologies for my absence from my blog. I have spent more than 2 months in hospital confined to bed and not knowing the reason why. During that time I received no treatment or saw a doctor, also the vitamins and such that help me live were not available. So I grew old very quickly.  I am no longer fit enough to drive my car so all my photos will be of visitors to my garden. I am at home now and having to start afresh. Wish me luck for I am starting anew.   Mike.

    Welcome back, Mike. Sorry to hear of this rough spell you have had and hope that your strength recovers. I am sure the foxes missed you. Perhaps they will return soon to keep you company. All the best - David

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.
