Hello and welcome
I have always had a keen interest in wildlife and the great outdoors;
I was an Angler for over 30 years but gave it up a few years ago to
concentrate on photographing wildlife. I lived in Runcorn; Cheshire a
short distance from the M56 that gave me great access to the Wirral,
Northwales and Lancashire, with some great countryside on my doorstep
I didn't have to travel too far in search of wildlife and photographic
opportunities.
Some of my wildlife photographs range from as far afield as Cuba,
Antigua, Saint Martin, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Tuscany ,
Corfu, Turkey, Spain, Portugal.
I now live in the Charente area of western France.

I returned to the Chateau at La Rochefoucauld to find its closed-on Tuesday I only managed a few shots all at distance.

Wallcreeper
Wallcreeper: Tichodroma muraria
I tried to photograph this bird last year at Saint-Germain -de Confolens but failed. I only saw the bird once and it flew away.
After seeing reports of sightings at La Rochefoucauld on the walls of the chateau I decided to try again this year.
