Bunnies

ByDawn

Well, not had very much time for photography of late due to work, but I’ve been trying to fit it in where I can. The last few evenings I’ve spent some time at the local rabbit warren, not too far from home. It’s a great location to take advantage of the evening light, but I’m still trying to find the best spot for a good clean background. Here’s a little taster:

The rabbits are getting used to me very quickly, so hopefully I’ll get some more interesting shots soon. They are quite amusing to watch, chasing each other round and round, and rolling over on the ground enjoying the warm sunshine!

Tonight, we are taking part in the WWF’s Earth Hour – joining over 8 million other people and switching our lights off for an hour from 8.30pm, because our world is brilliant! For more info, take a look HERE.

    Fieldfares are another one of my favourite birds. These gorgeous winter visitors come here from Scandinavia, presumably to escape the harsh winter weather. They flock together, feeding on windfall apples in the old orchard, conversing noisily with scolding chattering calls, unmistakeable with their beautiful slaty blue grey head, brown back, and cream speckled chest. This…

    On my way to the Fen this morning I saw a sight I’ve been waiting to see again for several years. Over my local common, newly restored, a Barn Owl was hunting. The common has been rescued from overgrazing and uncovered from rubbish, the grasses and wild-flowers are beginning to flourish again. The hard work…

    Here’s a few Sedge Warbler photos from this morning on the Fen.         The adults were being kept busy by the newly fledged youngsters scattered throughout the reedbed, their wheezy cries coming from deep within the vegetation begging for yet more food.   (Click images to view larger…) If you like what…

    My first meaningful photography trip out this year, and what a beautiful morning. There’s nothing better at this time of year, crisp and frosty, and great light. Headed over to the fen and started trying to capture the frosty reeds and fen plants, a tough job with a 500mm lens, but at least it gives…

    Off to the Fen this morning, after all, how could I resist after last time! Unfortunately I didn’t see the Bittern today, he was probably tucked up in the reeds somewhere given that the temperature was -13 degrees. The Fen was really quiet and still, the only bird singing was a lone Reed bunting. The…

  • Honeybees in the pink

    Bees are a real running theme for me this year, I just can’t resist the challenge of photographing these beautiful creatures. But they really are tricky to take pictures of. They are constantly moving, even when lapping the nectar from my Sedum plant in the garden, and in macro photography even the tiniest movements make…
