My Photographs for week ending 23 August 2015.

An exercise in a trial of alternative presentations of Blackbirds.

Four images of the Red-footed Falcon at Willow Tree Fen NR 19.08.2015. It's unfortunate that his back was towards me and head in the shadow but at least I got to see this rarity and grab a few shots in the 55 seconds he was perched nearby.

I asked the Grey Heron at Fiskerton Fen N.R. to show me some different poses.

My Photographs for week ending 24th May 2015

This Coot seemed so intent on disturbing the mirrored surface of the water - perhaps it didn't like the reflection.

Lapwings over Fiskerton Fen, Lincolnshire.

Swallows in flight are difficult to shoot so I am pleased to have got these.

Entomological photographs are not normally something that I take but I saw this caterpillar which I understand will become a Drinker Moth. I thought I would add this shot of a Peacock Butterfly taken recently.

A Wren at Fiskerton Fen Nature Reserve, Lincolnshire.

Grey Heron over Fiskerton Fen, Lincolnshire.

A Blackbird taking some Lincolnshire Sausage, home for the children.
