Lack of Blogs...

I must apologise for the lack of blogs in recent time but I have been working on my university dissertation and other projects that have to be handed in and it's taking a lot of effort, I will gradually keep uploading picture when I get the time but hopefully after April (when I finish my final year) I will be able to get back on course and keep regularly updating this site, until that time, please feel free to check out my Flickr page, as it is a lot quicker to upload to I keep this updated more regularly

A New Love...

I must apologise for all the gull picture that I have posted up recently but I've had so much fun photographing them, I keep going back... I hope that you like them and I'm not boring you....



Thanks Lee Harrison

Little Change...

Over my last few photography sessions, I have been concentrating on the Black Headed Gulls as they are the most abundant and easy to snap, so this time when I went down decided to concentrate on a few of the others feeding down there...



Thanks Lee Harrison...

with another day of sun I decided to go down to the docks and take a few more shots, I'm realy enjoying photographing gulls at the moment...



Thanks Lee Harrison

Bit to bright for Britain...

Went out last week to see the Ring-necked Parakeets that had taken up residence in Lytham cemetery, it was a bit foggy but I have never seen these birds before and was quite strange to see them in the wild but equally wonderful... 8 were present today but there have been up to 11....



Thanks Lee Harrison...

A close call...

While out in southport this weekend, I saw this perched Kestrel, slowly making my way towards , it got spooked and flew straight in front of an on coming car... it was very close, I am very happy with this picture and I would go as far to say it is my fav. that I have taken upto date, although I am lucky that the bird flew towards me, they usually fly off in the opposite direction and out of sight... I hope that you like it...

Another Waxwing...

As I headed out this morning, I noticed a flock of 5 Waxwings at the end of my road, very happy with this as I need it for a year tick I thought that the day was off to a good start, as we retured home at the end of the day we noticed that the flock had grown to 21 birds in the same tree comming down to feed regularly, we ran across with the camera and waited for no more that 2min before they came down to within 6 feet for us to feed and then flew off into the evening sky never to be seen again, I'm convinced that they were waiting for us...



Thanks Lee Harrison...

Today I had a walk down the Ribble to Huttons Marsh to see if anything would turn up while the tide came it, there was nothing amazing but lots of birds including this very friendly Reed Bunting... I hope that you like it;



Thank you Lee Harrison...

Hero...

As I was walking back after the high tide, I saw this cracking Sea Trout/Salmon not to sure which(and I call my self a fisherman :P) struggling after getting stranded in the puddle that you see it in, luckily no gulls had got to it and it hadn't sufferance yet, so up to my ankles in mud I walked out and released it into river were it hung around for a second and then happily swam off, a great end to the day :)



Unfortunatly just after posting this picture on facebook, I found out that it was a Sea Trout and they've just finished spawing, so it was soon to die anyway but I like to think that ever moment in life is special and I might have given it a few more...

Thanks Lee Harrison

Punk Birder...

Walking around Martin Mere, I always walk past these birds and they never fail to make me smile, so with the light perfect, I decied to take a shot, I really so love these ducks...

Time Lapse 2... Melting Ice...

After my first attempt, I decided to have another go at the time lapse lark, unfortunatly I have misplaced my remote, so I had to press the shutter button by hand causing a number of the shots to blur but you get the idea, they'll get better I promise...

More Gulls...

I am a very big fan of gulls, very photogenic and very interesting but once you get into identifying them, especially the rarer more unusual species it is a mind field of confusion and probable mistakes, so with the sun making a few appearances this week, I decided to make the most of it and go take a few more snaps...

A New Little Friend...

Since I came back from Christmas, we've had a squirrel stopping by to have a feed on our table, taking nuts and burying them near by, it never fails to make me smile when I draw back the curtains and see him/her there... not to sure were he came from, were surround my main roads but he/she come back every day :) even though I live in uni accommodation I still like to do my part ...

The Sun Still Shines...

With the sun still shining today, I went to take a few more pictures...

Ah the Sun...

With a couple of weeks of bad weather, I was happy this week to be able to get out while the sun was shining, so I tried to make the most of it and took a few picture, hope that you like them...

Swan Lake...

I took this picture down on the Docks today, not a special picture but I love these majestic birds...

Swans on the Mere...

I Love these birds, I can't get enough of photographing them at my local WWT centre...

the Ruff Weather is Over...

now the snow has cleared more of the birds are returning including these little beauties...

Swans...

This isn't the best shot in the world by a very very long way but I though that it showed a good comparison between our two wintering swan species...
