2014 - 365 Project

031/365v2 Badger

One twelve of the way through this years 365 and it’s been a struggle…things can only improve. Today’s shot is fairly typical of the month, a bit of a safe grab shot of one of our cats Badger, who hates having his photo taken – he was straight under the

025/365v2 Lined Up

The dreary weather continues unabated…I popped out inbetween showers and grabbed this shot of the local Geese around Doctors Pond, then an almighty crash of thunder and flash of lightning sent me scurrying back home. I then spend the next couple of our mounting some images for our next round

43/52 End of the Line

Back to Rowney Woods where we were greeted with warning signs that a shoot was taking place. We saw nor heard anything until we were heading back to the car when we were surrounded by beaters flushing out the pheasants. As we walked down the ride we were surrounded by

31/52 The Peacock’s Underclothes

We have been inundated with Peacock butterflies over the last few weeks in our garden in Great Dunmow. Despite the cats best efforts at catching them they have continued to visit the buddleia that they seem so fond of. I really liked this main picture, because you really don’t see

24/52 Look Out, It’s The Mob

I love this picture, OK? Mooching around Rowney Woods the wife and I came across this band of hoodlums waiting to set upon any unwary walkers, they certainly spotted us. I particularly like the male in the middle – he has such a great expression on his face…wonder if I

23/52 Cotton Top Tamarin

Do you ever watch Monkey World? I must admit, I do enjoy the antics of all the chimps there, but I do have a soft spot for the Cotton Top Tamarin’s, so I was delighted to find some at Linton Zoo in Cambridgeshire. Linton Zoo takes in rare and abandoned animals

22/52 Into The Wide Blue Yonder

A female mallard takes off from the Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow and heads off into the wide blue yonder… I probably spend more time hanging around Doctors Pond than is healthy!

21/52 Noooo Come Back

Taken in the back garden, this Starling fledgling was not impressed to see mother leaving! I’ve been getting a lot of shots of the garden birds recenty having invested in a tele-converter…which basically means I can get twice as close to the birds with my camera even though I’m stiil

19/52 Kestrel

Another visit to Audley End House for their Victorian Day. They had a lady showing her birds of prey and this was one of them – a lovely Kestral.

Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea)

Spotted this fella in Rowney Woods – dragonflies may be bigger than damselflies, and you would have thought they would be easier to photograph – you have to be lucky to get one resting like this – normally they are permanently in motion patrolling their area, damselflies must get tired
