Before David Cameron was elected he was keen to push his green credentials with his infamous hug a husky photo op and declaring he would lead the “greenest government ever.” So how have this government fared? Well they have: Slashed Natural England’s (the government’s wildlife and conservation body) budget by 30%,  straight after they came to…

First damsels of the year

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 29, 2015Leave a comment

Yesterday I was walking around Wat Tyler Country Park, trying out my new macro rig, with the windy conditions causing some frustration. Wandering into a more sheltered area I saw the delicate fluttering of a large insect, and unlike those on previous days it was not a cranefly, but a lovely red damselfly. I got…

I’ve just returned from a lovely trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland and have something like 6000 images to go through! But for now here are some of a Broad bodied chaser dragonfly nymph I took before I went on the trip using my pond creature photography technique. The above and next photo were taken…

My email to Hawk and Owl Trust regarding Hen Harrier Brood Management

UncategorizedBy Neil-UKWildlifeMarch 11, 2015Leave a comment

Four weeks ago I was having a conversion on Twitter with the Hawk and Owl Trust, about their plans to help with the hen harrier brood management plan.  I asked specifically about the Chairman’s plans to start the management in spring when they had said they would not start until persecution stops.  Sadly they have…
