Puffins in flight
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
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.…
My Best Photos of 2013 – Part 1
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…
Rainham marshes Ducks and snipe video
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!).

Juvenile Scaup at RSPB West Canvey Marshes
This week there has been a Juvenile scaup at RSPB West Canvey Marshes. This duck is usually found on the sea, so it was nice to see one on an inland site when I visited yesterday. It was a long way off so I had to use the Pentax q with the adapter and 300mm,…
