used my Mind the Scrap May kit to create this grid style page for todays LOAD prompt.
Used photos of my daughter on stage with Nutty Noah and told the story of how she was better than expected and did exactly as she was told even when he didnt want her too lol
The breezy conditions made catching any fish difficult, but at least there was no shortage of insects for these Common Terns to feed on.
The penguin couple on the right were trying to have some cuddle time when one of the ones on the left wandered up to have a look, resulting in an outbreak of generalized hostilities. The fight was a bit hard to take seriously, as it consisted mostly of one penguin trying to wap the other with its wing every 60 seconds or so.
Delighted to announce my British Wildlife Photography Award 2015 - Animal Behaviour Category "Highly Commended" , Peregrine Pair- "Treading Carefully" Congrats to all the other winners, a few of my Facebook/Flickr friends too :-)
The image will feature in the book (Collection 6) and be part of the touring exhibition, starting at the Mall Galleries in London
I won't be able to make the presentation ceremony at the Mall Gallery London unfortunately...http://www.bwpawards.org/static/2015/winner-2015.html
Red Deer / cervus elaphus. 10/10/18.
´RUTTING BEHAVIOUR.´ (3)
Thrashing the ground and stirring the mud up in his shallow wallow. An image made last year of a testosterone charged Red Deer stag. He had just one thing on his mind.
The strangest aspect of hamerkop behaviour is the huge nest, sometimes more than 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) across, comprising perhaps 10,000 sticks and strong enough to support a man's weight. The birds decorate the outside with any bright-coloured objects they can find. When possible, they build the nest in the fork of a tree, often over water, but if necessary they build on a bank, a cliff, a human-built wall or dam, or on the ground. A pair starts by making a platform of sticks held together with mud, then builds walls and a domed roof. A mud-plastered entrance 13–18 centimetres (5.1–7.1 in) wide in the bottom leads through a tunnel up to 60 centimetres (24 in) long to a nesting chamber big enough for the parents and young.
These birds are compulsive nest builders, constructing three to five nests per year whether they are breeding or not.
One of those shots where you think did I get that, of course a quicker shutter speed and clean background would have been better but sometimes you get what you get with bird and wildlife photography.
This composite shows the male Nuthatch retrieving a seed it had previously hidden under the bark of a tree. White-breasted Nuthatches often store seeds and insects one at a time, under loose bark on their territory. They typically hide the food by covering it with a piece of bark, lichen or moss.
Santa Cruz county, Southern Arizona.
I think this is a Warbler, possibly an Audubon Warbler, getting at food on the underside of this rock formation.
Late in the day with the gulls feeding on midges. Unfortunately I didn't get any when they suddenly rise up open beaked into a swarm, next time perhaps.
Mountain Hare in purple heather, photographed in the Cairngorms National Park.
I've spent a lot of time this summer photographing my favourite species, the Mountain Hare.
I'm trying my best to capture a full years life cycle of them as I've been approached by an publisher wanting to produce a book on the Mountain Hares. The person writing it comes from a scientific background so will write all the technical stuff and I will help with the behavioural and observational element, and of course provide the images!
Fingers crossed it all goes ahead as its sounds like a really exciting project.
Posted two pictures in one day ... how shocking is that ?..lol...
I do look somewhat angelic here, but I am no angel, not at all...lol...
Happy New Year !
