Mandarin & Ducklings

I’ve delved into my archives again for this post. I captured these shots during the Summer of 2020. During one of the many lockdowns of the time, when we were allowed to venture outside for exercise. Photo walks are exercise right? If my memory serves me, I spotted this female Mandarin duck nesting with her … More Mandarin & Ducklings

YSP Highland Cattle

As I have not been out as much recently with my camera. I thought I would have a look through my photo archives. I have more photos from the last couple of years that I haven’t shared than I realised. I captured these shots last Summer while visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The grounds of … More YSP Highland Cattle

Donside Crows

A few months back while visiting Aberdeen we spent an afternoon exploring Seaton Park, which lies to the north of the city on the banks of the River Don. During all my years growing up & living in the city I hadn’t visited the park until this year. I always assumed it was a small … More Donside Crows

The Grasshopper

Back to some wildlife photography, although I’m sure I will have plenty more photos to share of our fuzzy friend to add to my Cat Chronicles collection. Until last Summer I didn’t realise that we got Grasshoppers here in the UK. I feel quite privileged that each time we have spotted them it has been … More The Grasshopper

At some point I would love the opportunity to be able to photograph Red Squirrels. Although Red Squirrels are … More Squirrel in the Woods

Nesting Ducks

My first photo post of 2022, although I have to admit this one from my archives taken during last Summer. I’ve not had the opportunity to venture out with my camera yet this year, and the cold Winter weather is doing nothing to encourage me. With Spring just around the corner, I’m hopeful this will … More Nesting Ducks

In Review: 2021

2021 was a tough year for us all, what with the continued pandemic and accompanying lockdowns & ever changing restrictions. Personally, I feel that 2021 was just an extension of 2020. Thankfully, we saw less lockdowns in 2021 compared to 2020 as we all tried get back into “normal” routines. Although a part of me … More In Review: 2021

Signet & Swan

Swan’s are one of the most magnificent & elegant water birds (in my opinion). Signets are equally as beautiful in their own fluffy way. Their soft grey down makes them look like little grey clouds floating on the water. I managed to capture a few shots of this Swan & Signet, sadly not swimming together. … More Signet & Swan
