Last November I decided to have a day out photographing for wildlife, but rather than head out into the countryside of East Anglia, I instead headed in to London. This may seem like a strange place go for wildlife, but there is plenty to be seen and much of it relatively easy to approach. I…
When you ask people what they think of Grey Squirrels, opinion can be as divisive as, well, that subject dominating the news for the last 2 years…. But there is no denying they can be rather photogenic. They will often pose well, doing their best to look cute, as this one did at Thorndon Country…
A 1 photo post of some grey seals fighting.
A few photos from in what is left of the snow today. A grey squirrel that posed for a few shots. And a robin posed for a shot too.

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…
