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.

Song Thrush

Spent a few hours at the bottom of the garden in the bird hide this morning trying to photograph a Buzzard that sits on the fence however it did not turn up

but this Song Thrush did.

Down at the bird hide

October 06, 2020

Summer seems to be over and it's time to make some alterations to the bird feeding station.

IMG_0868IMG_0868 Not a traditional bird hide but it has all the mod cons and just had a Satellite dish installed.

IMG_0860IMG_0860

You need to be comfortable if you are spending long hours in a bird hide (5 Berth caravan) its better than wooden one.
