Mata Mata Turtle, Short Snouted Seahorse and Dogfish

fishBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 22, 2013Leave a comment

As I have mentioned previously, last weekend I gave a couple of talks on sea creatures and how I’ve photographed them at Portsmouth Blue Reef Aquarium. For those who haven’t been, I would recommend it. It is not a large aquarium, but it does have some interesting stuff I haven’t seen elsewhere. One of these…

Turnstone feeding on mussel and stretching

bird, Kent, Reculver, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 21, 2013Leave a comment

I’ve been processing some of my backlog recently and I came across these photos of turnstones at Reculver in Kent. I managed to get it feeding on a mussel And stretching its wings.

Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth at Night

landscapesBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 20, 20131 Comment

After seeing the purple sandpipers I tried something a bit different to usual, a landscape of sorts: a nice sunset over the Solent. I like to dabble in night photography, so had a go at capturing the view over Portsmouth, looking over from the Blue Reef Aquarium. And used my long lens to get a…

Purple Sandpiper Calidris maritima at Southsea Castle, Portsmouth

bird, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 19, 20131 Comment

On Sunday I gave 2 talks at Portsmouth Aquarium and while there I went to look for the Purple sandpipers on the sea wall at Southsea Castle. Afterwards, just before the sunset I managed a few shots of them. The sun was literally just above to slipping below the horizon, so these are taken at…

Green toadlets Bufo viridis

amphibian, Greece, Kefalonia, toadBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 18, 2013Leave a comment

When in Kefalonia last May we popped to Livadi for a few hours and I found a number of toadlets, that turned out to be young Green toads Bufo viridis. In the warm sun they didn’t sit and pose well but I got some nice enough shots.

A blackbird

bird, Essex, thrush, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 17, 2013Leave a comment

I came across this tame(r) blackbird recently, and the light was rubbish but it was feeding not far in front of me and I got a few ok shots. It did briefly pose still, close and in a more interesting pose, but as I went to press the shutter a sparrowhawk came from nowhere and…

The Moon, Venus and Jupiter in alignment

Astronomy, Essex, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 16, 2013Leave a comment

One from this time last year when the Moon, Venus and Jupiter were all lined up in the night sky.

A quick pond photo from last night, a broad bodied chaser dragonfly nymph.

A Not 100% well Fox

Essex, fox, mammal, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 14, 2013Leave a comment

Thought I’d finally broken my 2013 photography duck today (I haven’t taken a decent photo outside this year) when a fox came out a posed in the sun. Sadly as you can see it has a poorly eye and possibly a touch of mange. That said it seemed pretty healthy otherwise, walking (and running when…

A Fox

Essex, fox, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 11, 20131 Comment

After all the bad press, here is simply a photo of a fox, having a yawn.
