Photos of an Amorous Couple!

It seems as though the photos of the mating pair of Dasystoma salicella moths I took at the weekend have been in demand. I posted one of them on a forum and immediately had a couple of people ask if they could use it for their own personal records. Obviously I didn’t mind and sent...

Naturalist Weekend

I’ve just spent the weekend in Conwy. I decided to head up to North Wales as there was a North Wales Moth Recorders’ Meeting at the Pensychnant Conservation Centre. I travelled there on Saturday, stopping on the way to do a few geocaches and arrived in plenty of time for the meeting. After a coffee...

Juvenile Robin?

Morgan and I made use of our new RSPB membership and went for a cold winters walk at Ynyshir this morning. Lots of Canada Geese about but Morgan was a little cold so we couldn’t sit and look for birds for too long. I did manage a couple of photos of a bird that I...

Mawddach Goldrush 2010

I did the Mawddach Goldrush as part of a team last year. For those who don’t know, it is a charity mountain bike event in Coed y Brenin organised by Mawddach Rotary Club Trust. The event involves three approximately 10 mile long laps on the Tarw Trail. I’m thinking of doing again this year, but...

Chaffinch and Blue Tit

Just a couple of photos of birds in the garden. There are a lot that I still need to photograph from the garden species list and I’m sure I can improve on some of these too, but here’s a female Chaffinch and a Blue Tit.

Photos at Midday

I know that for the best light you should really take photos early in the morning or in the evening, but at this time of year at these latitudes there can even be some fairly rich light at midday. I just wandered over to the beach for some fresh air. There wasn’t much going on...

MTB Race Calendar 2010

Despite the amount of snow on the ground its time to start thinking about which MTB races I’m going to do this year. I don’t do them that seriously as I’m not that good, but ‘competing’ in them is always fun and it gives me something to aim towards. I’m not sure which ones I’ll...

Redwing 3

Redwing

Especially for Trudie. A photo of one of the Redwings we had in the garden today. Is this waht you’ve been seeing? The Snipe returned as well but I didn’t get a decent shot of it. The Redwings weren’t easy either as they are very timid, wouldn’t come too close to the house and scurry...

Garden Birds

The Snipe that I spotted in the garden yesterday didn’t return, so while I was sat there with the camera set up I decided to take a few photos of the more common birds in the garden, those that are usually overlooked. I think it will be a little photo assignment of mine now to...
