Maurice Gordon Photographic Tuition: August 2011

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.

Invertebrate selection

Some shots from the past week or so. I've been distracted by the insects over the summer but I'm looking forward to the autumn migration now for some interesting bird sightings.

Can you spot the spider?

Hoverflies

Photobucket

Again some photos from the back garden. In the absence of very many butterflies there are however stacks of Hoverflies. I think these are mostly the marmalade variety, I will have to check on the bigger black and white one.
