Fox and hedgehogs

  
Having a bit of a problem with an arthritic knee which is curtailing my movements somewhat. I am concentrating on what is going on in the garden. Over the past few weeks I have recorded a pair of foxes, three hedgehogs, a woodmouse and traces of badger. This led me to put up my trail cams more frequently. Although the pics. are a bit dissapointing due to the weather I am getting good feed-back as to what is about. Look at this picture closely and you will see the eyes of a pair of hedgehogs under the fox. They often appear in the garden together and share the food.

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.
