A first trip out of lockdown

Looking at Facebook I could see a few people were getting out and about and photographing birds. Several were posting images of Pied Flycatchers. I had seen Pied Flycatchers before but hadn’t managed any decent shots of them except for a female that I saw during a visit to France last year. I talked to…

Covid19 and the Lockdown birding

I’m sure everyone is getting a bit stir crazy with this lockdown as a result of the covid19 pandemic. We all need to try and find some normality with the situation, so I decided to try and improve my setup for photographing birds. My normal procedure was to open the dining room window and try…

Great Northern Diver in Scarborough Harbour

For a while there have been photos on social media of a Great Northern Diver in Scarborough harbour. These are one of the birds on my wanted list so I decided to go and see if I could see it. Due to other commitments I couldn’t get over there until yesterday, Sunday 24th November 2019,…

A varied week

A real mixed week.  Went to Littondale for the weekend.  Sandra walked to Malham and I walked as far as the waterfall behind the caravan park in the hopes of getting some decent Kestrel shots.  Sat for over an hour near to the waterfall but only saw the Kestrel in the distance.  On the return…

A week in Menorca

It was a weeks holiday in Menorca with the grandchildren and their parents, but I tried to fit some bird photography in as well 😉 There were plenty of Yellow-legged Gulls and Audouin’s Gulls flying around the hotel looking for an easy meal.  I was surprised with the Audouin’s Gulls as they’re not supposed to be…

Early Monday morning trip to RSPB St. Aidan’s

Set off at 05:30 on Monday morning to RSPB St. Aidan’s in the hope of seeing the Black-necked Grebes again. Clear blue skies and not a breath of wind when I left home but by the time I got to St. Aidan’s the wind had picked up, although the sky was still clear. It’s a…

A Trip to Florida and the Bahamas part 3

Following the cruise, we hired a car and drove down to Marathon in the Keys via Coopertown in the Everglades so we could introduce our friends to the pleasures of doing an airboat ride.  Saw a few Alligators as we were the 1st boat out in the morning as well as Great Egret, Great Blue…

A Trip to Florida and the Bahamas part 2

The day after Sandra’s 60th birthday we boarded the Norwegian Cruise Lines Ship ‘Norwegian Sky’ for a 3 day cruise of the Bahamas, stopping at Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay. Despite my reservations about cruising it was extremely enjoyable. Disembarking at Nassau on the 1st day we went on a tour of the island, although…

A Trip to Florida and the Bahamas part 1

Have just returned from 2 weeks in Florida and the Bahamas for my wife’s 60th birthday.  There was a group of 6 that have all celebrated each other’s 60th birthdays and this was the last.  As this is a photography blog I’ll only mention the photography rather than the excellent holiday we had.  The first…

Finally, a Black-necked Grebe.

Today was the 1st time that I’ve managed to get to RSPB St. Aidan’s this year. I’ve wanted to go for a while but the weather has always been poor or I had other things to do. It was also a good time to give my 500mm lens and 1.4x extender a test after calibrating…
