The last of the series of popular walks with a camera has come and gone. Hopefully we can push it forward sometime next year and maybe have a small exhibition of the work produced by those who come along.

North Wales Coast – 1 – Conwy
Last week I spent a couple of nights at Llanfairfechan, ideally situated to visit some of the many hides along the stretch between RSPB Conwy and the Spinnies at Bangor.
Queen Victoria in the Mersey
Our timing was good but totally fortuitous, the Queen Victoria, Canard’s smaller sister (Queen Mary 2 and Elizabeth being larger) was due into Liverpool on the morning we were heading back to Wales.
Ringed Plover at Askam
On a recent brief trip up north, Barrow and Liverpool I managed a few short forays out with the camera. The images in this post were taken at Askam pier, about a hundred yards from where my brother lives.
Hares at Altcar
An hour or so on the Lancashire mosses provided an unexpected encounter with a number of hares. I went primarily for the Barn Owl, but it didn’t show. The first run down Engine Lane bought the first hare, it was one of seven separate sightings I was to have in the time I was there.
Badgers at Devon Badger Watch
Home Farm: Update – August
I’ve managed a couple of good days in the last week at the farm. The squirrels are playing complete havoc with the feeding station by the river, total destruction of some so called ‘squirrel proof’ feeders. A bit more creative thinking required!
Exmoor: 4 – Deer
Exmoor: 3 – Birds
You are always looking. If photography and the desire to respond to what’s around you is deep within, you never stop seeing. It’s also impossible to go anywhere without the means to photograph.

Home Farm: Great-spotted Woodpeckers
We’ve started feeding again down on the farm and have a new hide in a more open location.
Home Farm: Sand Martins
There are two banks on the river that runs through the farm that support small colonies of Sand Martins. Last year was not a good year for them.
Leighton Moss
A few images from a recent visit to Leighton Moss. Apparently the Bitterns are having a rough year here with perhaps only one pair on the reserve; the severe winter having taken its toll.

Hirundines and Swifts
Any chance of having a go at photographing the Hirundines and Swifts and I’m there. I love watching them, get excited about seeing the first ones arrive and continually marvel at their extraordinary life cycles.
Somerset Levels – Day 2 – Bittern Fly Past
In the afternoon I moved back to Shapwick in the hope of getting one of the Bitterns that the previous day I had noticed were, at times, flying over the main path from one reed bed to another.
Somerset Levels – Day 2 – Tealham Moor
Breakfasted on Tealham Moor, less of a moor in the traditional sense and more of an extensive area of wet grazing meadows with a good number of ditches throughout, but not a common sight today.
