Grey seal and shag at Filey Brigg

bird, mammal, seal, YorkshireBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 25, 2012Leave a comment

While photographing the purple sandpipers at Filey Brigg, we were joined by this lovely grey seal who just sat on a rock, occasionally bothering to look our way! As the tide went down she did move around and went for a swim at one point. But it mostly just sat their grooming or stretching every…

Fallow deer Dama dama in Richmond Park

deer, London, mammal, Richmond Park, SurreyBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 6, 2012Leave a comment

As well as Mandarin Ducks, I got my best pics of fallow deer on my last trip to Richmond Park I saw some posturing.. …and then rutting! Lots of fallow bucks, with some more posing. As well as females.

Rabbit stretching

Essex, mammal, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 26, 2012Leave a comment

Having realised how rubbish my wildlife stalking technique was on a trip to Scotland, when an opportunity has presented itself to practise, I’ve had a go. A couple of weeks ago I came across one of the (usually a bit wary) rabbits in Wat Tyler, in an area less likely for dogs to appear so…

Gull eats seal pup eye

bird, gull, mammal, sealBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 23, 20122 Comments

I should probably start this post by warning that there are GRAPHIC images of nature in the raw (please forgive the cliché). It features a gull doing what it does best (scavenging) and what it needs to survive. If you of one of those people that don’t ‘do’ nature, probably best to skip this post!…

Wood Mouse

mammal, rodent, Surrey, Thursley commonBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 17, 20121 Comment

On a recent visit to Thursley Common, which was sadly pretty unproductive for invertebrates, we found this wood mouse which was feeding on grass seeds near the picnic area. It seemed unfazed by the humans around it but wouldn’t quite come out enough to pose. We all waited for a good 20 or 30mins and…

Brown hare and quail at Elmley Marshes

bird, butterflies, butterflies, Gamebird, insect, Kent, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 11, 2012Leave a comment

On Saturday morning I headed reasonably early to Elmley Marshes. The drive in was pretty quiet except for a few yellow wagtails until I reached an area with a field that had much shorter vegetation. Here were a number of hares, which wherereachable with my Pentax 300mm and 1.7x convertor combo. One decided to have…

Rabbit kit at Minsmere

mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 8, 2012Leave a comment

A couple of weekends ago I visited a very wet Minsmere RSPB nature reserve in Suffolk. There was not much about but in the car park I photographed some rabbits, including a cute little kit. Another was grooming

Ptarmigan and mountain hare on Glen Shee

bird, Cairngorm, Gamebird, mammal, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 14, 20122 Comments

One of the species I wanted to see in Scotland was ptarmigan. These are a bird of mountain tops in the UK and it usually it would have involved walking through snow to get them in March, but the record warm weather meant there was little snow about so easier walking. Unfortunately it also meant…

Reindeer

Cairngorm, deer, mammal, ScotlandBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 5, 20122 Comments

While not a target species, with them not being 100% wild or native in the strictest sense, coming across the reindeer on the cairngorms was still pretty cool. It was great to see them in an at least semi natural habitat. I tried a different shot too.

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…
