Last week was my first attempt at some aquatic invertebrate photograph for a while, but I got some nice shots. This diving beetle larvae ended up posing well. Got a few close ups too

Rainham marshes Ducks and snipe video

bird, Essex, RSPB Rainham, video, wader, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 16, 2013Leave a comment

It was miserable weather yesterday when I visited Rainham Marshes yesterday and the main reason for my visit was to pick up a signed copy of ‘Dragonflight’ by Marianne Taylor (with whom I had a nice chat about dragonflies and the fun involved in photographing them!). Look out for a review once I read it!…

Large red damselfly nymphs

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 15, 2013Leave a comment

Last week I got out the photographic aquarium after a long break from photographing any freshwater creatures, and I got some nice photos of some large red damselfly nymphs. They are quite well developed, which isn’t surprising as this species is the first to emerge in the UK, some years starting in April or even…

Fulmars at Troup Head

bird, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 13, 20131 Comment

Back in March I visited Troupe Head RSPB reserve up in Scotland. There I spent a large amount of my time there trying to get nice shots of the Fulmars. They are fast moving birds, but in good light the K-5 Autofocus did alright and I got some nice shots, icluding this pair chasing each…

Here are the rest of the red squirrel images. I sat for 2 to 3 hours, for 3 mornings, in temperatures down to at least -10C, but sadly the squirrel only came out the first morning! Still these are the best images I have of this charming species.

Rhithrogena clinging mayfly nymph

Cairngorm, Ephemeroptera, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 8, 2013Leave a comment

While in the Cairngorms in March, I kept going past lovely clear and clean rivers and streams, or I should say burns being that it was Scotland, and being me I couldn’t help but wonder what was in there. Lots it turned out! I’ve posted photos of the Pedicia hairy cranefly larva already and have…

Red squirrel in the Cairngorms

Cairngorm, mammal, rodent, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 5, 2013Leave a comment

While in the Cairngorms this March, some friends set me up in a hide early one morning to try and get some shots of a red squirrel. It was something like -7C so I was wrapped up warm, but the light was OK so I waited. Eventually the squirrel came out a few times and…

Long tailed tit

bird, Cairngorm, Scotland, titBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 4, 2013Leave a comment

Back in march I sat in a freezing cold hide waiting for a crested tit to pose for a photo. One never did that day, but I did finally get a nice shot of a long tailed tit.
