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.

North Cave and New Workings

It has been some time since my last confession. My spare time is now largely taken up by manning a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust stall recruiting new members and providing information to visitors at North Cave Wetlands. The new Dryham Ings side of the reserve is already showing promise with 30 Yellow Wagtails on there today with the Pied Wagtails - we had a blue headed "Channel" Wagtail last week. Ringed and Little Ringed Plovers are currently on Dryham Ings and the Avocets too are showing interest in the new side of the reserve. This means that the new super large straw built Crosslands hide is currently an interesting place to be and when the reserve stretches even further westwards it is going to be fantastic.  Pictures here are all distant and not great, but I had time for a walk around the reserve today. Spring is late but the Hirundines are coming in and Willow Warblers now starting to sing. More birds, butterflies and dragonflies still to look forward to.
