Reports
Good – or bad – days with the camera, holiday trips and other things of a bloggy nature.
Catching up...
Turnstones, St Marys
I’m getting the hang of the 7D, and was lucky enough to have the beach to myself (and the Turnstones) for a while.
7D odds and sods
The Winter’s a bad time to buy a new camera – no light to test it in!
Wallington Hall, the QE II - and a Canon 7D
Out and about today – a new venue and a new camera .
A productive couple of hours at St Mary's
Sometimes a couple of hours is all you need.
Whitley Bay Cemetery
Making the best(?) of what’s about…
Newbiggin
Bad light stops play
OK, it was better than being at work, but not really a day to remember.
Washington Wildfowl Trust
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...
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
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
A local nature reserve that’s actually worthy of the name, and a very obliging Stonechat on my local beach.
The Farnes
At long last I make it to the Farnes.
The best of a bad job
A brief after-work call into St Marys.
A turn around the lake...
A visit to the QE II Country Park in Ashington.
Meadow Pipits at St Marys
At last, some nice light and (relatively) obliging birds.
Druridge Bay
A trip up the coast to Druridge – another one that didn’t go quite to plan.
Something to crow about...
The beach at St Mary’s – no waders, and no light…
St Mary's again
Sore foot, stupid dogs, stupider owners, shouting, swearing, sun, sand, Swallows and Sanderlings!
A bad day...
A day that went from really promising to really painful in just one step…
Tynemouth
What’s a nice gull like you doing on a page like this?
Misty St Mary's
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.
St Mary's and Hartley
The usual suspects at my usual local haunts.
Thropton and Caistron
A day in North Northumberland – the River Coquet and Caistron Nature Reserve.
Bird Forum Bash
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
Another look at my local beach – on a very breezy day.
A day at the harbour
A good day at the harbour today – some good birds and some good “crack”.
Norfolk 2007
Some of my pictures from a week in North Norfolk in September 2007.
