Wildlife

I have always been passionate about wildlife and conservation and when not photographing people I can often be found out in the countryside and on nature reserves. Though we have of course lost species, we are lucky to still have such a diversity of birds, butterflies and insects in the British countryside. Many species are still under threat, but it is heartening to have met so many like minded people when out and about photographing the natural world.

Kingfishers are back at Tophill Low

Photobucket


Kingfishers were showing well at Tophill towards the end of last year and hopes were high that they might stay to breed this year in a purpose built burrow equipped with cameras. Unfortunately the winter, as I'm sure you will remember, was a harsh one which can be particularly hard for small birds to endure. The birds may have perished or simply moved away from the frozen fishing ponds. Kingfishers have still been seen around the large reserve, but it is good to know that they are now back showing well near the hide with the Kingfisher apartment underneath. I hadn't been able to guarantee students sightings of these wonderful birds earlier this year, but hopefully from now on I will be able to do so.
