Colin Mayes photography tel 07884443371 colin.mayes@btinternet.com I have been into wildlife photography for around 15 years now and managed a few good shots in my first year which gave me the bench mark to the quality that i wanted to achieve

This is my second time on flickr as I closed my account as i basically joined too many groups and it became so time consuming, so this time I want to find just a few good groups and be more active with individuals sharing my enthusiasm

I have enjoyed flickr this time round as i have put several faces to the names of people that I am following and those that follow me its a excellent way of keeping contact and seeing just what the chap i sat in a hide with all day has been up too

I am now spreading my wings a little after buying a Lee filter kit having a bash at landscapes and other subjects that is the beauty of flickr its easy to open new albums and start something completely different and I am finding it hard to get out birding with long hours at work but as long as daylight permits I can stop off on the way home and snap a building of interest or a nice sunset

now I am pleased to say that I have finally retired so hopefully getting out more
