Wake valley pond, Cornhill meadow and Bedfords park

Monday, May 26, 2008 12:21:34 AM

On saturday we went for a trip to Lee valley, stopping of at Wake valley pond on the way. At wake valley ponds I was looking for hairy dragonflys. Again I had no luck, although I did manage to see a few downey emerald dragonflys, a new species for me. They were all in flight so I could only manage this shot

Red deer at bedfords Park

Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:43:51 PM

Continuing on from yesterday, I went for an early start at Bedfords Park. One reason for this is the fact the sun would then be on the right side to photograph the deer, and hopefully be that nice morning light. Thankfully this plan worked and I manged a number of shots, mainly of one particular female thatw as making a lot of noise.

JUDGE ME!

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 6:13:33 PM

- well my photos at least. I need to pick 8 images from my local area for a competition. The problem is I always find it hard to judge my own work. So I need your help. On this link there are 33 images, that I hve wittled down from getting on to 100 okish images I've taken. If any of you could spare a few minutes and look through them and pick you favourites - in order of preference or just a few you like, I dont mind, I just want some Idea of what others think - thanks. If peopel would prefer I can post them all on here?

Anyway the link is here:http://flickr.com/photos/ukwildlife/sets/72157604687625930/

Regents park - ducklings, grebes, geese and herons. Oh and coots

Friday, May 16, 2008 7:10:44 PM

, , , ...

Today I visited Regents Park just to be different wink bigsmile In fact I visited Monday as well as Rapheals Park, thought I appear to have misplaced those photos doh Anyway back to today, and greating me as I entered where the red crested pochard ducklings that I also saw on Monday. 3 of these sat nicely on bank while laid down on the gravel to take some photos. This area is often covered by the resident flock of pigeons (they were a couple of metres away today), so it was probably coated in mixture of poo, feathers and parasites. Was worth it though: bigsmile
