A Big Year

ByDawn

This year is a big year for me. Not in the same sense as a bird watchers ‘Big Year’, where they try to see as many different species as possible, but because today I turned 30. So in a fit of ambitiousness I decided to set myself the challenge of photographing 30 different wildlife events and species. By this time next year, I hope to bring you a portfolio of 30 amazing images of British nature. I’ve a few things in mind, Kingfishers for example, but I’m open to suggestions!

If you want to follow my progress with this ‘Big 30’ project, please take a moment to ‘Follow’ my blog – click the link in the bottom right hand corner, enter your details, and you will receive an email every time I post here.

If you have any suggestions for what you’d like me to photograph, please post a comment below!

    Over the Fen this morning, couldn’t resist photographing this little rabbit as he peeked out of his burrow at me. Sunshine and showers kept the Sedge and Reed warblers hiding low in the vegetation, but the Cuckoo was still singing away. Five Roe deer were very camera shy, only the rabbits would let me photograph…
