The remaining seals at the beach on Donna Nook..
Finished editing the last of the photos from a recent trip to the fabulous Donna Nook on the east coast of England with my brother. We went to see the last remaining visiting seals before they head off back on their journey with their young which I […]
Photographs of wild baby seals at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire….
Despite my relative proximity to Donna Nook on the east coast of England I rather shamefully have to admit that until this week I’d never been before (my parents will probably correct me and tell me I went in 1973) and after my visit I’m rather […]
Photograph of church in the Lincolnshire village of Ashby de la Launde…
It’s not often I write about churches and their history, I leave that to my brother who has built up an extensive catalogue of church information on his site which attracts a number of local historians all keen to add material research in the […]
Incredible video of an eagle owl in flight….
I have been fortunate enough to photograph both the Bengal and the European eagle owl and to watch them in flight is truly spectacular. When you are photographing them it’s hard to appreciate how stunning they are in flight because you’re concentrating on making the shot so imagine […]
Brother averts a fate not worse than but surely…death!
Today saw my first venture in the great outdoors for more weeks than I care to recall. Blessed was I to be in the company of my brother on a fine day at Fiskerton Fen where a spot of photographic testing was in order.
As per usual all […]
Photograph of a baby saker falcon..
Here’s my photo of the week, a very young and pretty ugly baby Saker Falcon courtesy of my falconer friend, Russ. He’s a little older now but not much and looking at him it’s hard to imagine he’ll grow into anything attractive but the Saker is a beautiful bird of […]
Photograph of a baby American kestrel..
Here’s the first picture in what I hope will be a long and healthy life for a beautiful bird, the American Kestrel. I’ve never seen one fully grown before, only in pictures and they are really quite spectacular to look at. This one is no more than a fortnight old […]
Photographing my favourite bird…
Had a great afternoon in the company of my falconer friend again today. Went to see how his Northern Hawk Owl was growing (more of that later) and managed to sneak in a few precious barn owl shots.
Still my favourite bird, wild or tame I never cease to be amazed by its […]
Watchinga Lanner Falcon eat its prey…
The Lanner Falcon is a really lovely bird of prey, a poor relation to the Peregrine as hunters go but very effective nonetheless I had the opportunity to watch one fly and hunt last week.
Falco Biarmicus can be found most commonly in Africa and some parts of Europe, usually […]
Pictures/Photographs of a baby Northern Hawk Owl…
Now what do you reckon to this little fella? Barely four weeks old, he’s incredibly curious, cheeky and full of character. The Northern Hawk Owl, native to North America and Northern Europe, a daytime hunter with a long tail which feeds on voles, mice and other rodents.
Fully grown they […]
