Maurice Gordon Photographic Tuition: January 2012

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.

An obliging Siskin...

ncw0911

This male Siskin posed well amongst the branches in a spot of bright sunshine at the weekend at North Cave Wetlands. Sticking with the green theme, it was good to see some Greenfinches too on the feeders. They used to be regulars in my garden but have clearly been hit by trichomonosis.

Sunny January day in East Park

Pochard

ep0796

It was such a sunny day today, more like April than January, that I thought I would head to East Park hoping for Goosanders. I saw 17 in total though up to 30 have been seen recently. They are shy though and won't come very close to have their photo taken. Great light today which you really need to light up dark headed ducks. Even our everyday Mallard looks very smart in the sunshine. The Coots were leaping out of the water in an almost Dolphin like fashion to snatch bread from a chap's hand.
