Dragonflies and little grebes at RHS Hyde Hall

bird, Freshwater invertebrates, odonata, RHS Hyde hall, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 17, 20172 Comments

On Monday I decided to have a day out with the family, and we ended up heading to RHS Hyde Hall. I have only visited a few time before, and never on a sunny day in summer. On my previous visits I had suspected the ‘new’ lake there would be good for dragonflies, and I…

First damsels of the year

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 29, 2015Leave a comment

Yesterday I was walking around Wat Tyler Country Park, trying out my new macro rig, with the windy conditions causing some frustration. Wandering into a more sheltered area I saw the delicate fluttering of a large insect, and unlike those on previous days it was not a cranefly, but a lovely red damselfly. I got…

A few shots of some blue tailed damselflies

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…

2 tailed common lizard at RSPB Rainham Marshes

Essex, Reptile, RSPB RainhamBy Neil-UKWildlifeJune 17, 20122 Comments

I paid a visit to Rainham Marshes today as the weather forecast seemed OK, if a bit windy.  The wind pretty much ruled out any serious macro, except for larger stuff on the boardwalks and fences.  Around the bird woodland boardwalk there were plenty of common or viviparous lizards. However this one was a bit…

Scarce chaser dragonfly, greek marsh frog, mammoth wasp and beautiful demosielle

amphibian, insect, odonataBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 13, 2012Leave a comment

On a trip to a reservoir in kefalonia we saw some interesting stuff. There were scarce chaser dragonflies flying around. There were greek marsh frogs. This mammoth wasp was on a flower. A blue tailed damselfly perched nicely. As did this beautiful demoiselle.

Bearded tits, stonechat reed buntings and dunnock

bird, Essex, finch, RSPB Rainham, thrush, tit, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 26, 20122 Comments

When you take up wildlife photography there are certain bird species you want to photograph. Hoopoes are on most people’s lists, if hard to get in the UK. Bitterns are another and one, I’ve only photographed twice and not particularly well. Another is the bearded tit or reedling. I had seen them at Rainham before…
