Another deer shot

I got this shot on a walk through the woods this afternoon.

Pentax K100 Sigma f5.6 400mm, 1/90 sec f5.6 1600asa Manfrotto Tripod and 486 head
This was the first view I had of the Deer. There was enough cover to get a little closer then wait under cover for them to move towards me. A wait of twenty minutes was rewarded with the above clear shot.

Water Vole

The Water Vole is fairly scarce and is protected by Law
They are very cute creatures and great fun to watch, if you can find them!

There are lots of problems involved in photographing Badgers but it is very rewarding

I can't think what the name for baby deer are (Fawns?). Here are the twins.

June Rabbits

June Rabbits. Shots I did last June, but I see there are plenty of baby Rabbits about this year.
These were all taken with a 300mm lens. It takes only a little time before they come very close to you and it is easy to get decent shots.

Woodpecker

The great spotted woodpecker

I set these shots up by drilling holes in the tree branch and filling them with a nut and fat mix.

Egg to Chick

I visited the Swans nest over a period of a couple weeks watching them incubate the eggs untill five little chicks appeared.
After a tiring swim its time for bed.


Look mum we can swim

Herons at Coats water

The Herons are difficult to photograph due to the distance and the tree branches obscuring the view. These shots were done with a 500mm telephoto lens.Perhaps the best time of year is now when the young birds are leaving the nest and testing their wings. Even if photos are out of the question they are still fun to watch
