Attenborough, June 2007

Spent Father's Day taking Dad around Attenborough. Lots of young birds - Reed Warblers and Whitethroats, Tree Sparrows, Great Tits, Coot, Moorhen, Mute Swan and Mallard all got photographed.
There were also a large number of Banded Demoiselle dragonfly-type creatures around; enough that we saw a sparrow catch (and drop) one, one got caught and eaten by a spider, and we found just the wings of another on the path. Mating Ladybirds and a bunch of Peacock Butterfly caterpillars, and some strange cricket-type critters, were amongst the other insects we saw, not counting all the flies and midges.

Just a walk on a sunny day, and everywhere around were young birds...

RSPB trip to Swithland Reservoir in Leicestershire
Norfolk Birdwatching, December 2004

A trip to Norfolk, looking for King Eider at Titchwell, Rough-legged Buzzard, and Lesser Yellowlegs at Stiffkey. We got the latter, but the light was so bad that hardly anything came out from that leg of the trip - which is a shame, as we got some great views of Redshank on the banks of some of the channels.
Titchwell was pretty good for Robins - they came extremely close - and some waders, but the light was variable and so action shots were right out.
Attenborough, December 2004

Taken before the visitor's centre was opened - the door's still boarded up.
The reason there are twitchers in some of the photographs was due to the appearance of a Sora Rail, the photographs of which are elsewhere.
Old Moor and Potteric Carr, November 2004

The weather wasn't great, so the usual Winter problem of dark, blurry photos reared its head again.
