As you may have noticed, the number of wildlife photographs appearing in my photostream is increasing. Although I have been interested in the weird and wonderful world of wildlife for a long time it is only recently that I have taken seriously to photographing them. I am finding it so fascinating that I am giving more time to it than other forms of photography. So, I apologise to those who prefer to see my pictures of towns, villages, curiosities and other things. I will continue to post these types of pictures but not as often as I used to do. I hope that you will bear with me.
