Newt

While the Macro lens was on the camera I shot these two.

April Snow

British Summer time started last week so typically it snowed a week later

Wood Duck

A pair of Wood Duck on the Local Pond

Tamron SP f5.6 300mm lens. IMO for size, weight and performance it is one of the best 300mm lens you can buy.

In the Town Gardens Swindon

New park leaflet

The new Stanton Park leaflet is available. All photos are by myself and Swindon Council has seen fit to name and thank me.

Unfortunately the leaflet is only laser printed so doesn't do justice to the photos but we can't have it all. Here is how that Spider on the cover should look.


Stanton Park is one of my favourite places and really is a true nature reserve. Pick up the leaflet at any Swindon Council office, Tourist information or any of the other Swindon parks that have a Ranger office.

Nice Light

Oh No not another Swan photo. I’m sorry I just liked the light.

On the Run

A Bird in the Hand

The Garden Robin perched on my friend Tony's hand.

Local Wildlife photographer Phil Jefferies has just won a very good competition. This was for the best action picture of 2007 so it was fairly prestigious. Phil can often be seen around Stanton Park and other wildlife conservation areas and is IMO one of the best wildlife photographers in our area.

Rain

Rain and more rain. This is the water flowing over the Weir this morning.

A Morning walk

Morning Frost

A few minutes after I had taken the above picture this young Roe Deer came out of the woods. He just gave me time to change lens and get this shot.
The last few minutes of Sun before the rain started again.

Down came the Rain

What are they

I had to get the bird book out to indentify these two.
