Gigrin Kites in dismal weather

bird, BOPBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 30, 20114 Comments

AFter my trip to Gilfach, I and some friends meet up at Gigrin farm. The weather did not look great and in fact only got more cloudy and darker as the red kite feeding time drew nearer and just sadly continued to get worse as they were fed. However having a camera with good High…

Cattle egret

bird, heron, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 24, 20111 Comment

When I was in Lanzarote on the outskirts of Costa Teguise I finally got a good view of a couple of cattle egrets. They were hunting for grasshoppers in the dry stony habitat that dominates the island.

Trumpter finch and whimbrel

bird, finch, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 20, 2011Leave a comment

Some more shots on Lanzarote.  First thing almost every morning, as the sun came up, I headed down to the beach.  It was when the ebach was emptiest which meant not only was there more wildlife around, but it was also safer to be walking around with a long lense.  On this particular mornign I…

On Sunday I went up to Norfolk with my friend Dave on a seal photographing day. Our forst stop was the boat trip to Blakeney point, which we just caught after a long search for breakfast. I got some nice shot from the boat using my DA*300mm and sometimes my 1.7x convertor. This common seal…

Oh yes, yet more whimbrels!

bird, Lanzarote, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 29, 2011Leave a comment

  As I slowly but surely work my way through editing my photos from Lanzarote, I’m starting to realise that I took a lot of whimbrel photos!   That said these will be among my best as the eveing light was beautiful. I caught this one with a drip on the tip of the beak,…

Desert grey shrike eating a gecko

bird, LanzaroteBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 20, 2011Leave a comment

On day 4 of my trip we were walking along the seafront when I spotted the desert grey shrike calling from a TV aerial. It was way to high up for a photo and we were looking for somewhere to eat. Walking back the other way to head the resturant we fancied I couldn’t believe…
