Bricks, Bridges, Birds, Butterflies, Bunnies. Hares and other things.
The Bingley Camera Club photo challenge for this month is iconic/famous #yorkshirebridges so I went out on Friday with the intention of getting a suitable photo or two. I have quite a few photos of interesting bridges but taken to record my visit rather than with a view to entering the monthly camera club challenge. […]

Early April (DMNR, Ben Rhydding & Home)
It’s been a bit wet and cold today so I haven’t been out with my camera which has given me chance to catch up with the photos I already have. Yesterday I took my camera into the garden wondering if I would see anything interesting – butterflies, Blackcap, interesting insects, or perhaps a Siskin again […]

Field Maple and Beetles at DMNR
Today I went down to Denso Marston Nature Reserve again to get a firm ID on a tree that I thought was a Field Maple but was, sort of, hoping was an Alder. Steve confirmed that it was a Field Maple (Acer campestre) This then makes me question the ID of the beetles found on […]

DMNR, 25 & 26 March
I managed to get a few nice sightings at Denso Marston Nature Reserve over the weekend. A Chiffchaff was slowly circling its area and calling so I sat down for a while and waited for it to come round and show itself. As usual click on an image to see it in the gallery carousel. […]

More Redcar Tarn, Friday
I made another trip up to Redcar Tarn on Friday and spent some time talking to someone who, unlike me, could actually identify the gulls with some degree of confidence. My Lesser Black Backed juveniles from my earlier visit were probably Herring Gull juveniles so I have edited the posting. This time the wind was […]

A wet and very windy time at Redcar Tarn, Keighley on Monday
When I set off the sun was trying to poke through the clouds but within a few minutes the clouds had descended and rain was starting to hide anything in the distance. I carried on though. As usual you can click on an image to see it in higher resolution, especially if you are on […]

Denso & High Royds, 11 & 12 Mar.
On Saturday I went down to Denso Marston Nature Reserve to see if anything interesting was there. And on Sunday I went along to High Royds Pond to look for Snipe that someone told me about on my walk around DMNR on Saturday. DMNR As has often been the case recently, as I got to […]
