These captures of this Green Heron were made the same day that I photographed the Great Blue Heron supersizing his fish menu and I really took a huge number of shots of this guy in action. He was sort of wakeboarding on this piece of timber that was floating around in a bit of protected water and he had little regard for my presence. He didn’t catch much, but was definitely on station and vigilant the whole time. The tides were much too high and it seems to disperse the fish much more than at low tide. Hope you’ll don’t tire of Green Herons, but they are quite abundant and cooperative.

Another view of Arriva Buses Wales VDL Pulsar 2 3142 - CX12 DSY, this time pictured on Saughall Road working service 1A to Chester bus interchange. A feature of the Blacon Pointer routes is that buses can interwork between the 1 and the 1A as is the case here where this bus was working both the clockwise and anticlockwise circuits.

Nog steeds op zoek naar nieuwe locaties voor landschapsfotografie. De hele komende herfst en winter de tijd daarvoor! Nu toch weer naar het havenkwartier getrokken tijdens de zonsondergang die inmiddels alweer plaatsvindt rond 19:10u! Wat gaat de tijd toch snel.
Hier een (ultra) groothoeklens gebruikt van 10mm (cropped) wat een spectaculair effect geeft in de lucht. Het lijkt alsof alles naar 1 punt convergeert. Hier een sluitertijd van 8 minuten gebruikt om dit effect te kunnen creëren.

30min after sunset and it looks like the best photo I've ever taken ))
I've been so envious of all the gorgeous little greens that my flickr friends Jeff and Jerome have posted lately! I haven't seen one this season, so I rummaged around in my archives and found this old one.
This little green heron is staring very intently at his intended prey. He is displaying classic hunting posture; crouching in the branches on shore waiting for his food to come close. The solitary Green Heron usually forages from a perch, where it stands with its body lowered and stretched out horizontally, ready to thrust its bill at unsuspecting prey. One of the few birds known to use tools, the Green Heron will attract prey with bait (feathers, small sticks, or berries) that it drops into the water.He has several sticks right at hand if he needs them--I wish he had chosen to use the one right in front of his neck so it wouldn't have been in my way!

English pointer.
"The Pointer combines athletic grace and power with a lean, muscular body, noble head, alert expression, and noble carriage" (National Kennel Club).

I was not the only one interested in capturing my wildlife subject. When I saw this beauty coming closer on the other side, I was completely taken by him or her, enough that I started to shoot this dog instead of my subject. It was the first time I saw a German Shorthaired Pointer, well I think that is what it is. Would love to take head shots of this very lovely animal some day.
Last of Ellie series..You can tell she goes to agility classes maybe she thinks she's still going over those hurdles! No photoshop on these she really did leap through the crops

This Plaxton Pointer bodied Dennis Dart is Jim Stones replacement for the former BT Enviro300 which is currently at Blackburn being prepared for Howards Travel / Springfield.
Ironically, it started life with Stones before departing for Hornsby Coaches a few years back.
Whether this is a temporary addition to the Stones fleet is anyones guess. A cherished plate has been fitted though the livery is decidedly non standard.
Despite travelling across the UK for as long as I can remember, there was one region in England that I have not visited but only passed is the Potteries region in Staffordshire... The area covers Stoke-on-Trent which is a unitary authority and city; in fact Stoke-on-Trent was formed following the federation of six towns in 1910 and later gaining city status in 1925.
The six towns of Stoke consists of Burslem, Fenton, Hanley (the main commercial centre), Longton, Stoke-upon-Trent and Tunstall. The main operator within Stoke is First Potteries, a subsidiary within First Midlands.
Over the past decade, First Potteries has been seeing investment after years of neglect; it is one of the more eclectic of First's bus operations with a nice mixture of buses, but now modern and having experienced the operator first-hand, well-maintained interiors with friendly drivers.
Amongst First Potteries single-deck fleet which has been heavily modernised over the past decade, the subsidiary also operates two solitary Alexander Dennis Pointers, normally utilised on local services around Hanley. More often than not, they frequently appear on the 5 between Hanley and Abbey Hulton.
The two Pointers are easily distinguishable as they retain the first version of the Olympia livery, but their interiors are also non-standard... These Pointers originated from NCP Car Parks before going over to Melton Mowbray-based, West End Travel who were acquired by Centrebus in 2012. 43875/43876 were sold to Ensignbus by 2013 with First Potteries acquired them and where they remain ever since.
