Grey heron close ups and grey squirrel wide angles in Regents Park

bird, gull, heron, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 17, 2012Leave a comment

When I visit London I always try and get to Regents Park. One of the main reasons is for the herons, which are very approachable. This time of year the are in breeding colours. There are last years juveniles around too. I quite liked this ‘different’ angle. And I got a ‘normal’ shot too. I…

Grey seals and scavenging gulls

bird, gull, mammal, sealBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 31, 2012Leave a comment

Some more shots from Donna Nook. A female seal gets aggressive. A reflection shot. And a nice pair of whiskers! Sadly everywhere there are young being raised, there are are some that don’t make it. But nature is not one to waste and the gulls are quick to take advantage. The greater black gulls are…
