Some more photos from Lanzarote. Walking along the seafront path in Puerto del Carmen I could here a loud and unfamiliar call coming from a bush. I had a look around the bush and there, less than 50cm from the ground and a couple of metres in front of me was a southern grey shrike.…
Back on Pitsea Landfill site and photographing the wonderful foxes there. This particular fox seemed to have got something stuck in is teeth and pulled a sucession of great poses.
Before stopping to lick is paw clean.
Some more pond photos. For this broad bodied chaser nymph I used image stacking.
I also tried some image stacking on some smooth newt tadpoles.
And this damselfly nymph.
I also took some typical macros of this hawker dragonfly nymph, which had just shed its skin and was light green in colour.
Here is an image of a hawker dragonfly nymph that has just shed its skin (hence the light colouration), that I took using my photographic aquarium. I managed to increase the depth of field by using image stacking (combining a few images focused at different distances).
Some more shots from Lanzarote, the rest of the photos from the day I photographed the sanderlings. First up some yellow legged gulls
I got some more whimbrel shots.
I also spotted a few ring necked parakeets in some trees.
On my second morning in Lanzarote I headed down to the beach in Puerto del Carmen. There were a few sanderlings in a small sandy bay.
