 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.

Lee's Lake

October 11, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

In search of Butterflies at Lee’s lake in the afternoon and I came across a very small Green lizard in a small clump of heather along with a
 

Great Green Bush-cricket.
 

I did eventually find some butterflies including this Marbled White and a Walled Brown plus other ones I have yet to identify.
