Flamingo

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 16:47 +0100

Not something I expect to see in Yorkshire. Went to Harewood house hoping to get some Red Kite shots, but they weren't playing. I like the colour on this so thought I'd add it.

Lapwing in flight

Taken at Dearne Valley Old Moor RSPB reserve, this just flew by below me and I just caught it right.

Great Crested Grebe

Mon, 16 May 2011 10:34 +0100

What a beautiful bird the Great Crested Grebe is, and I love this one, with it's striking red eyes, particularly the one on the side of the sun. Watching them fishing was a delight, and we were even treated to their "weed dance", which was fantastic but not of my shots made the grade, unlike Brian Rafferty, who was also there - see here for his.

Four Spotted Chaser

Mon, 16 May 2011 10:30 +0100

Whilst out looking for an elusive Kingfisher, we came across this which I am reliably informed is a Four Spotted Chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata)! I just liked it, and this is the best of the hundred photos I took of it!

Curious Squirrel

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 00:00 +0100

It's such a shame there aren't more red squirrels in the UK as they are so much more fun and better to photograph as the colours are so much nicer.

This was taken in Berlin, on the edge of some woods, and there were quite a few of them and obviously used to people.

Spain Win the World Cup

Watching the World Cup Final in Montefrio, Spain was a great night since they won and there were celebrations well into the night as people drove round and round the town sounding horns.

Atilla

Our friend Mick and his rather wild horse, Atilla.

Lothersdale Snow

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:00 +0100

With all this snow around, I just had to get out and take a few. It's a shame the village pond is not in the sun at this time of year, although it makes some nice shadows in the background. The geese were looking hopeful I was going to feed them, but the swan didn't move from it's spot as it had a sygnet close by.

Lossiemouth

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:00 +0100

This was in Lossiemouth, Scotland. I spotted the heron sitting there with a nice relection in the water. It looks like I've done some HDR on it, but I didn't, it is just as taken except I lightened the beach a little.

Bow Fiddle Rock, Portnockie

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00 +0100

Just outside Portnockie on the north coast of Scotland is this amazing rock with a lot of different birds around it. I just caught both the wave and the seagull flying.
