After the flooding in our local reserve we got rare visitation up near the parking lot. He came out of the bushes, scurried around, looked at us quizzically, scurried some more, and then disappeared. It was a brief encounter but he was there long enough to have been able to capture some significant wildlife memories.
This is a farm on the outskirts of town. The farm house has fallen to ruin and it seems like, over the last few years, the landowners are leasing out the pastures.
Last year there were large work horses there, and now, when I drove up there the other day, I was surprised to see these long horned cattle. They look Scottish... but I'm not familiar with the breed.
It feels like a long time ago now, but this is a sunset we experienced last year in Long Bay close to Coromandel Town. I hope it still looks as idyllic as it did then.
This male Long-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus kingii) was photographed at La Minga Ecolodge, located in the Río Bitaco Forest Reserve, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green plumage and extraordinarily long tail feathers, the Sylph is a highlight of this cloud forest ecosystem. Perched momentarily on a delicate branch, the bird’s vibrant colors contrasted beautifully with the lush greens of its surroundings. The tranquility of the setting added depth and texture to the composition, creating an image that feels both vibrant and serene.
To capture this moment, I set my shutter speed to 1/4000 sec, aperture at f/6.7, and ISO at 3200—settings initially prepared to freeze the rapid movements of hummingbirds in flight. The natural light filtering through the forest canopy added a soft, diffused glow to the image, while the high shutter speed ensured sharpness during this fleeting opportunity. Moments like these, where preparation meets serendipity, are a reminder of why I’m passionate about wildlife photography.

Long-tailed Skua / stercorarius longicaudus. Mayfield Valley, Fulwood, South Yorkshire. 16/03/21.
All thanks to a small influx of Long-tailed Skuas into the UK in March, 2021, I was able to get to see this beauty. The actual movement of these scarce passage migrants in 2021, was in itself extremely early but for one to be blown so far inland was quite remarkable!
The opportunity presented was too good to miss, when this smart bird, tail streamers intact, chose a small upland field in South Yorkshire to rest and feed up in. It wasn't phased by the crowds who went to see it and concentrated all its efforts on feeding up and resting.
This image shows it taking a break from probing the ground for earthworms, whilst throwing a glance at its admirers. From this angle I got a clear view of its thick white neck and breast, giving way to the very dark belly and undertail. You can also appreciate the extent to which the tail streamers protruded.
Female, Beeding cement works, Sussex. Couldn't resist returning on Sunday and a two hour wait was eventually rewarded with a view of the open wings.

This Long Billed Dowitcher was photographed on the Tundra in Barrow Alaska.
Spring arrived almost 3 weeks late this year to Barrow, Which is a pretty big deal. since the season for raising chicks and young is relatively short.
Im told the Ocean is still Frozen there but most of the Ponds are now open. Upon leaving the Tundra was just starting to get some color to it, Mostly It held winter colors during our visit.
