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.

Sleepy Hollow

 Sleepy Hollow.

Back from France now and it's time to try and catch up with my photos.

The wildflower bed is a bit disappointing, very low germination this year despite having new seed.

The small pond is already attracting the odd Dragonfly and the Frogs are trying their best to catch and eat one.
