Robin

ByDawn

A few from the garden today. Decided to try a perch for the Robin and he/she took to it pretty much straight away. The Turtle dove did put in a brief appearance, but quickly wandered off over the other side of the lawn.

These last two were a little too centrally composed, so I’ve cropped off one side, and added the same amount to the other to correct this.

The last is my fav from the session, he’s such a poser! I really like shooting in overcast conditions like this, as it really brings out the detail. But a little more brightness would have been good so I could get just a little more depth of field, and perhaps a bit of ‘sparkle’.

    I have only ever visited Bempton out of season, when the Gannets still swoop and soar, but not much else is around. Trips to the rugged, windswept cliff tops have caused both sunburn and a soaking on previous occasions. From May the area is a seabird city, with half a million nesting birds. The Gannets…

    Usual Sunday morning chores interrupted today when I noticed a queen Buff-tailed Bumblebee sitting on the kitchen windowsill, she must have got stuck indoors the previous evening. She dived into the offered teaspoon of honey, allowing me a photo opportunity. Many people regard bees rather warily, but they are fascinating and important creatures. Bumblebee’s are…

Sometimes you don’t have to fill the frame… Also in the meadow, some lovely Ragged Robin. Difficult to photograph, as it was a bit windy out there. Then, on the way back, the star of…

  • Roe deer day

    Beautiful morning out on the fen today. I love this place in the winter, the sparking white blue of the frost contrasts with the golden morning sun on the reeds, always stunning to see. It wasn’t long before I came across lots of Fieldfares, and a trio of Roe deer grazing in the field adjacent…

    Hello! Yes I’m back! Firstly I must apologise for my prolonged absence. The past few months have been incredibly hectic, and sadly I’ve had no time for photography. You see, on the 15th September, I married my partner of 10 years and love of my life Drew Mellowship. We had a truly wonderful day and…
