Reports

Good – or bad – days with the camera, holiday trips and other things of a bloggy nature.

Turnstones, St Marys

Posted on 27 January 2010, 17:41 in

I’m getting the hang of the 7D, and was lucky enough to have the beach to myself (and the Turnstones) for a while.

Posted on 28 December 2009, 20:37 in

Out and about today – a new venue and a new camera .

Sometimes a couple of hours is all you need.

Marden Quarry - and Bibble 5

I might have found a new favourite RAW converter in Bibble 5.

Usual Suspects - not such a bad thing, really...

Posted on 10 September 2009, 18:32 in

Sometimes there are only common birds around – it can be a fun challenge to make the most of such situations

St Mary's - a pleasant surprise

Posted on 12 August 2009, 20:06 in

It just goes to show that even when you think you know what the day will have in store, a surprise is always possible.

Saltholme RSPB

So that’s what £4m gets you…

Silverlink NR and Blyth Dunes

Posted on 21 July 2009, 22:50 in

A local nature reserve that’s actually worthy of the name, and a very obliging Stonechat on my local beach.

The Farnes

Posted on 20 June 2009, 23:43 in

At long last I make it to the Farnes.

The best of a bad job

A trip up the coast to Druridge – another one that didn’t go quite to plan.

Something to crow about...

Posted on 20 May 2009, 17:49 in

The beach at St Mary’s – no waders, and no light…

St Mary's again

Posted on 9 May 2009, 13:17 in

Sore foot, stupid dogs, stupider owners, shouting, swearing, sun, sand, Swallows and Sanderlings!

A bad day...

Posted on 3 May 2009, 11:45 in

A day that went from really promising to really painful in just one step…

Tynemouth

Posted on 19 April 2009, 23:01 in

What’s a nice gull like you doing on a page like this?

Misty St Mary's

Posted on 3 April 2009, 21:46 in

St Mary’s again – the birds were obliging, but the misty weather kept me on my toes…

Marden Quarry

Marden Quarry in Whitley Bay (NE England) is a pleasant place to while away a few hours.

Along with a handful of other brave souls, I braved sub-zero temperatures – and no birds – on the annual Bird Forum Kite Bash

Windy day at the beach

Posted on 9 December 2007, 19:52 in

Another look at my local beach – on a very breezy day.

A day at the harbour

Posted on 11 November 2007, 23:05 in

A good day at the harbour today – some good birds and some good “crack”.
