Puffins on the sea and rocks

I took photos of the puffins around the Farne Islands. Here are a few more. One on the sea. And some others on cliffs

Puffins in flight

auk, bird, NorthumberlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 4, 2014Leave a comment

While on the Farnes Back in June, I had a go at photographing some puffins in flight. I managed a few I was happy with, despite the less than ideal conditions.

My Best photos of 2013 – part 2

bird, Freshwater invertebrates, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 28, 20133 Comments

Carrying on from here are my best shots from July to December in 2013. In July summer finally arrived and I had booked a week off work, so I decided to head to the New Forest for a few days. It was a dragon and damselfly bonanza! At Crockford stream I photographed golden ringed dragonfly.…

I’ve been playing with white backgrounds with my pond creature photography and I’m getting some OK results so far. Here is a Wasp (great) Diving Beetle.

My Best Photos of 2013 – Part 1

bird, crustacean, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 24, 20136 Comments

2013 has been a funny old year. It started of slow and with the cold spring and late start to summer, combined with me being busy moving house and completeing a Forest School Qualification, I didn’t spend as long out taking photgraphs as I have in previous years (well it feels like I didn’t!). It…

Water louse

crustacean, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, Isopod, wat tyler cp, water louseBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 22, 2013Leave a comment

The water louse is a common species found in many still and slow flowing aquatic habitats (including polluted ones), but it is not photographed very often, even when compared to other pond creatures. This is probably due to their habit of diving for cover or the corner of the photographic aquarium. Last winter I tried…

Diving beetle larva

beetles, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 21, 20131 Comment

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…
