Kestrel eating worm

bird, BOP, Kent, SheppeyBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 27, 2013Leave a comment

A few more from that great day On Sheppey, this time of a kestrel that flew along side my car before landing in front of me to eat a worm.

Misty Morning at Elmely Marshes

bird, heron, Kent, landscape, mammal, rabbit, Sheppey, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 26, 2013Leave a comment

The morning of my last post when I got the Merlin was quite an atmospheric and misty one. There was bit of a frost around as an egret was hunting along a flooded ditch. There was a nice flock of curlews too. And a rabbit just about posed on the grass.

Merlin Falco Columbarius

bird, BOP, Kent, SheppeyBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 24, 20131 Comment

Last Monday I was driving down the entrance road of Elmley Marshes nature reserve.  In the past I have taken some of my best wader shots along this road, but recently I’ve not had much luck there.  That morning it was foggy when I arrived, with the sun starting to peak through, but I had…

bird, Kent, Reculver, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 21, 2013Leave a comment

I’ve been processing some of my backlog recently and I came across these photos of turnstones at Reculver in Kent. I managed to get it feeding on a mussel And stretching its wings.

Little egret Egretta garzetta at Oare Marshes

bird, heron, Kent, OareBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 29, 2013Leave a comment

Yesterday I popped to the KWT Oare Marshes reserve. It was pretty quiet in terms of people and birds. I did see a little egret and I got a shot of it with my K5. I had gone to try out my Pentax Q on the DA*300mm with the adapter but the sun of course…

Little owl, snow bunting and red legged partridge

bird, Kent, owl, SheppeyBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 14, 20132 Comments

On Saturday I had a trip round Sheppey, thanks to Phil (@sheppeywildlife on twitter) and saw some great birds. The weather was very dull but I got my best ever shots of 3 birds. Little owl. Snow bunting And red legged or French partridge. I was a great day, thanks to Phil for showing me…

Nesting Avocets at Oare Marshes

bird, Kent, Oare, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 6, 2013Leave a comment

Here are a few photos (from June last year) of a pair of nesting Avocets. Due to the risk of from egg thieves I held off from posting these and then never got round to it, so here they are:

Large velvet ant – Mutilla europaea

hymenoptera, insect, Kent, OareBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 13, 20122 Comments

Back at the start of September I was walking around KWT Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in North Kent with a couple of friends when one spotted this creature running across the path. I recognised it imediately as one of the velvet ants, the female of a type of solitary wingless wasp. I had always wanted…

Black tailed godwit at Limosa limosa Oare marshes

bird, Kent, Oare, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 10, 20121 Comment

A few photos form back in March taken at Kent Wildlife Trust’s Oare Marshes Nature reserve. The reserve is a fantastic place to see birds, but they are rarely close enough to get a decent shot, even with a 500mm lens, as it is very busy and a lot of the folk there have dogs…
