I’ve been visiting the Fen regularly and really getting to know the place and it’s wildlife.

ByDawnWildlife photographers have a habit of showing only their very best work, which is of course understandable. It does leave aspiring wildlife photographers a little disillusioned or disappointed with their own efforts, because it’s a fact that for every amazing photo taken, there’s ten, twenty, or a hundred (or more!) ‘misses’.

In the evening
ByDawnWith the lovely long days at this time of year, I can spend a few hours out on the fen after work. The atmosphere in the evening is very different to sunrise, which is when I’m normally there.

After a long walk, I returned home with exactly zero photos. Not a problem really, I’d say 90% of a wildlife photographers time…
