While at Dungeness on Saturday I came across a migrant hawker that had settles on a gorse bush. It stayed still while I got some close ups too. I also came across this clouded yellow butterfly. A kestrel posed, though a little distantly. A keeled skimmer sat on the path. A black necked grebe (as…

bird, video, waterfowlSeptember 3, 2013

Last weekend I popped into Dungeness for the day. When at the RSPB reserve I spotted a couple of black necked grebes not to far from the hide. So I used my Pentax Q and 300mm lens set up to record at an effective 1700mm. Sadly my tripod head was out of action at the…

On bank Holiday Monday I popped into Rainham Marshes for the day. There had been masses of good birds the previous two days, which were long gone by then! There were however loads of marsh frogs. I wanted a low angle shot, but the boardwalks and paths are 50cm or so above water level. luckily…

badger, mammal, newsAugust 28, 2013

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few days, you will know a cull of badgers has started in two areas of the Westcountry, amid much controversy. But one thing is starting to concern me is the fact they are not testing of the badgers being shot for bTB. Why is…

Small tortoiseshell, gatekeeper and common blue butterflies

butterflies, Essex, insect, wat tyler cpAugust 27, 2013

Some butterflies from the weekend before last, taken in Wat Tyler Country Park and RSPB Vange Marsh. A small tortoiseshell butterfly. The numbers of this species are noticeably higher than the last few years. I’ve seen a lot more common blue butterflies this year too. And a gatekeeper, which always seems to be common!
