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.

Nightingale Time Again

Nightingale9241


Nightingale9304

Nightingales are now arriving back in Lincolnshire, unfortunately they don't tend to come as far as Yorkshire any more.  It was a dull day today when I had the time to visit and the Nightingale pictured didn't sing for long periods of time. It sang quite short loud tuneful bursts and then hopped into the undergrowth to look for more food, still recovering his strength after the long journey back. The Nightingale song seemed to wind up one Blackcap in particular who kept flying in to the tree next door to sing as loud as he could. It was a valiant effort, but the Nightingale did easily shout him down! Even a Wren seemed to be getting excitable with much trilling, bobbing up and down and tail shaking.
