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.

Better Days

Back to France today

Two years ago in late December I photographed this Hawfinch in the garden, feeding on cherry seeds.
Even though it’s a bit earlier in the year I am hopeful that I will see one.

I have enlisted the help of one of my neighbours to keep my bird feeders topped up so I could see Crested Tits feeding on them.

I will be checking my nest boxes to see if they are occupied. This is the first time I have put up boxes for Dormice and it will be interesting to see the results (plus the opportunity to photograph them).

My wife is in Florida enjoying better days with great weather and wildlife (think I made a mistake not going with her by going to France instead). Two weeks in Mexico next year will make up for that.
Some of my camera equipment will include a trail cam and camera triggers to capture Deer or Pine Martin you never know your luck.
Where are they
I am off to France for a week; before I go I was hoping for some views of Waxwings.
Coming soon
Super Moon
What Super Moon......It didn’t happen for me; I only saw it high in the sky through a watery cloud.
