Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles (3 kilometres) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1928 and quickly sold again. In 1929, following a failed attempt to dismantle and rebuild the house in the US, it was stripped of many of its fixtures and fittings and all but abandoned.
During World War II, the house was again requisitioned and served as a barracks, a training ground for tanks, and finally a prisoner of war camp—all activities unsuited to the preservation of an already semi-derelict building. In 1952, a time when hundreds of British country houses were being demolished, it was said of Basildon Park "to say it was derelict, is hardly good enough, no window was left intact and most were repaired with cardboard or plywood."[1]
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy.

This was a very special moment for us at Birnie loch this morning. We have hand fed robins before but always put our hand on the ground for them to feed off. On this occasion this little guy flew very close to us and sat on some branches looking at us. Wendy held her hand out and he flew right on to it. He sat quite happily eating seed. When someone passed by he flew off but returned again several times. A fantastic experience especially for Wendy for the trust this little guy showed in her. (made explore #1 on 26/11/08)
Slimbridge Wetland Centre is often referred to as the birthplace of modern conservation. The founder, Sir Peter Scott, was the son of Antarctic explorer Captain Scott. In 1946 Peter set up the Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge as a centre for science & conservation. There are now 9 Wetland Centres in the UK open for the public to enjoy nature.
Excellent places to visit to see captive birds from all over the world plus thousands of wild birds.
No words could describe the feeling that came over me the first time a chickadee delicately landed on my hand at the Mer Bleue Bog.

markham trusts his daddy.
this image is slightly underexposed - captured on a very bright sunny day - but i love it nevertheless. it speaks volumes to me.
This was an experience while on holiday in Scotland unlike any other when the wild birds trust you sufficiently to take food from you. Robins I know about but Coal Tits demonstrating such trust and boldness! :)
I particularly like this shot having managed to capture the activity of the other bird in the background, just a shame the wings were out of the frame (uncropped image).
Special moments!

One day I’ll learn to trust my intuition. The color wasn’t bad early but it faded off about 10 minutes before sunrise. That’s not really unusual. It’s just that my intuition told me that was it until the Sun appeared over the horizon and I’d want the big lens for when that happened. But I just sat there and let the chance to change slip away.
Oh well, I shot it with my regular landscape lens and cropped it. Jimmy told me a long time ago I should learn to trust my intuition. I should have listened. You should too.
