Not had much time for photography of late, which is a shame as there is so much to photograph!
This interesting creature is a Forest Shieldbug, which hitched a ride on the outside of my car. When we arrived home he flew off onto the wooden fence, against which he was quite well camouflaged. I only managed a few shots before he flew off again, with a surprisingly loud hum.
Since my last post, I’ve been spending a lot of time down at the Fen which is teeming with wildlife at the moment.

We visit the same spot again and again, hoping for that one moment when it all comes together. The light, the subject – we wait…
Wishing all my subscribers and readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you all for your continued support over the past year, I truly appreciate it. Plenty to look forward to next year – Project Turtle Dove is well under way – despite the awful weather the weeds have started…
