201-365v4 Trevor

It’s very rare that I photograph people, but I do like occasionally catching our Camera Club members while we are out and about on photowalks as we were last night. We travelled over to Therfield Heath to see the butterflies there. We nearly postponed the evening as the forecast was

198-365v4 Centre of Attention

We’ve had the second batch of ducklings appear over the last week or so (you can see a whole barrel load here). So here’s one of the new batch – there is now an awful load of waterfowl on Doctors Pond now, and the Mallard Ducks, Canadian Geese and Moorhens

193-365v4 It’s Ratastic!

The rats are doing an Italy on us…we were briefly ahead when we got down to 2 rats left in the garden, but they have exploded into action producing 6 offspring. Their training is excellent now – they know not to go into the penalty area (traps)  even with all

188-365v4 Hoverfly v2

It’s only a couple of days since I posted my last picture of a (2) hoverfly. I think this is a shot that is different enough to be worth inclusion. I didn’t have to travel far for this specimen, just the back garden where it was sunning itself on a

186-365v4 The (Macro) Fauna and Flora of Fowlmere RSPB

We took a stroll around the Fowlmere RSPB site near Cambridge today and, as has been standard through much of the year, I took along my Macro lens to photograph some of the bugs around the place. It’s a really lovely place, with super clear chalk springs feeding the streams

This cheeky young Goldfinch decided to forego the usual pleasures of the seeds that are available in all the feeders we have to enjoy some lovely fresh seeds from the herb robert growing in our garden wall. S/he had a lovely time gourging there way through the seeds available and
