Early February birds
Another walk down to the river with my camera. Tap on an image to see it in its gallery. Along the river were a few little flocks of Long Tailed Tits going from tree to tree and with them several Goldcrest. Three if not more Goldcrest were also in one of the bushes next to […]

Goldcrest at Denso
As some of you will know I have a new camera body, a Canon R7, but I still have the Canon 7D MkII. When I go out I usually have my binoculars with me on their neck strap and after a while, binoculars round my neck, camera and long lens over my shoulder, things start […]

Redwing, Siskin, Mandarin Duck & Jay

This time I didn’t spot any Kingfishers which is unusual but after taking a photo of the Crow with its nictitating membrane over over its eye I spotted a Cormorant flying along the river. As usual click on an image to see it […]

Denso Nature Reserve after Christmas
I have to admit that I feel a lot lighter when I go out with my camera, the cool air on my face is very refreshing. This was another trip, on Boxing Day, just down to the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve. The wind was cold so I was pleased that I could use […]

My first outing with my new camera
Back at the beginning of August I ordered a new camera and finally in the middle of November I heard that it was ready to pick up. Since then I have tried it out in the house and in the garden but it wasn’t until Thursday (8 Dec) that I took it out with me. […]

So tiny, and flat.
I watched BBC Autumn Watch last week and as a result I looked at some of the leaves on the ground when I was out today. I saw quite a few with green patches on them and took one home. I didn’t do anything fancy. I took a couple of photos of the leaf with […]
