The blog has been a little slow lately, apologies for this, but in the new year it should liven up and have a new format. The plan is to build up a new body of work over the next few years related to wildlife within these islands.

Bala: A Retrospective – No 1
My work with a farming community in Bala, North Wales started some 28 years ago and over the next year I’m aiming to take the work back to the community to properly archive all the images.

I’ve been out and about to various parts of the country in the last week or so, and as always camera with me, without it you feel somehow undressed.

There are some hidden gems around, and often in your own locality, that for various curious and unfathomable reasons you have never visited before.

Quick Tip 9: Identifying Images
When your out and about a lot with the camera, particularly on a trip of a couple of weeks, and continually taking images day after day it’s easy to forget where they were taken.
The Cost of Luxury

Home Farm Butterflies
It’s been a great weekend, weather wise, and down on the farm the butterfiles have been out in force. The Painted Lady and Whites were more ‘flitty’ and took a good while to gain anything decent from. That’s not always the case but today they were not for staying on any food plant for more than a second or two.
Dolphin Survey With Sea Trust
I was out with Sea Trust yesterday on a dolphin survey trip to the Smalls. The weather was, at last, fine but with a fairly heavy residual swell from the last low of a couple of days ago. It made the photography pretty difficult early on, but as we passed the Smalls lighthouse it quietened down and conditions improved.

Wells
During our recent holiday to Cheddar we cycled over to Wells and spent an enjoyable day in and around the Cathedral.
Kingfisher Preening
I was at Home Farm the other day clearing and tidying around the hide. We’re also starting to feed the birds again.
