Yesterday we had a family visit to the craft fair at RHS Hyde Hall and I was not planning on taking many photos after taking 1600 shots the day before on Sheppey (blog post on that to follow!), but I always take my camera with me just in case. One of the craft tents was…
Here is part 2 of my 2016 review, carrying on from part 1. I had a wildlife trip up to Yorkshire for an early birthday present and one of my targets was a common hawker dragonfly. I had seen a probably common hawker in the Cairngorms back in 2014, but I’d never had a good…
As is tradition now, as 2016 is drawing to a close, I’ve written a review of the year. Its been a mixed year, where for reasons that will become apparent below, I’ve not been able to get as much with the camera as in previous years, but I’ve had few nice wildlife experiences, got a…

Today I was sitting in the Green Centre hide at Wat Tyler Country Park chatting to my friend Dave C, when I got a call telling me the glossy ibis was in creek. I headed over there and there, a little way off, in the creek was a glossy ibis. It was heading towards us,…
Recently I have been using the new Pentax 1.4x Teleconvertor with my Pentax DA*300mm for a lot of shots. I was previous not fully convinced it was sharp enough, but a few weeks ago this pied wagtail perched up on a fence and I got away a few shots with the above combo. They were…
