I managed to get into a remnant of bamboo forest near Tokyo, just before I left for Australia. It was very poor for invertebrates, as expected, apart from mosquitoes. But after a while, I managed to find a few collembolans, happily, on the decaying bamboo. The pleasure of being amongst native, fully grown bamboo was immense. When I saw bamboo growing wild for the first time, it was incredible. I hadn't quite realised how similar it is to woodland, just done with bamboo instead. Just fantastic.
We managed to get tickets for Winkworth Arboretum and I was very happy to be back such a short time after my recent visit. The breeze was blowing a golden flurry of leaves across the colourful hillside. Soft focus and texture reduced in pp to catch the gentle mood.
Managed some damselflies and now a butterfly, things were definitely getting better!!
Much more fun viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I managed to get up to Lancelin recently for a late afternoon/evening shoot. The conditions were looking good so I headed up there giving myself plenty of time to scout the dunes for a composition I was happy with. After roaming the dunes for 3 hours or so I had two compositions marked out that I felt were strong. It was then a matter of waiting for the sun to meet the horizon and for the lines in the dunes to take shape.

Managed to spend a lot of time in the woodland making the most of the rich greenery and sunlight. This photo was easily my favourite from the day.
managed to catch a few trains at False Summit before the wind kicked up and ruined the reflecting pond
As you can tell, I have finally managed to get back to sorting and editing a few more (15) photos taken on our 13-day birding trip to South Texas, 19-31 March 2019. These photos look so drab in comparison to the colourful local birds I have been posting recently. Actually, I think Day 8 and Day 9 are going to be similar, but then Day 10 will have more colourful Texas birds.
Despite the lack of close, colourful birds, Day 8 was an interesting day, spent at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. The forest was so different from anything I had ever seen, with Spanish Moss hanging from all the branches.
Will have to continue later ....
But I managed to conduct myself with a modicum of dignity while shopping. I’m S L O W L Y getting the hang of hair care and hoping my styling appointment this month will create some “look” I can live with. The close up was the last of the day (checking I’m not too swollen for a previous worn outfit), but it gives a glimpse as to what I’m working towards, a soft, (obvious feminine) sweep. I’ve more than enough “body” but less “coverage” than I prefer. Not sure I want bangs, but have to keep it age appropriate (without the purple wash, thank you). I’ve managed to get slight control over my weight- the wrinkles are a lost cause. Love love love❤️
I'm back after recovering from taking thousands of pictures LOL of my in-laws that were here visiting from Germany. I had my first day back in the field today after about three weeks and of course it was cloudy,raining ,cold and windy. I did manage to get a few bird pictures like this Kinglet that was hanging around with something in his beak.
Managed to capture this perfect strawberry Before the critters get it, like they did with the other berries.
Salami managed to keep still on my palm for a record 5 seconds today, before scrambling right off my palm >_____< It was a great relief he landed on my bed >_____< Until recently, it was impossible to have him hold still at all! Silly boy!
Thankfully Sashimi has always been more obliging :3

Managed to get some time out today at WWT Llanelli and was rewarded with a small flock of siskin feeding nearby.
managed to get out while it was sunny between the rain and found this ringlet flying among the grasses, so day 183 of my 385 and i'm half way there

I managed to grab a quick shot of this Starling before it flew off to feed its young. As it was a grab shot I accidentally underexposed it. The Nikon D750 has great potential to recover shadows so I was able to end up with a reasonable exposure but it was a pretty ordinary photo. Then I had a brainwave and decided to go the other way and increase the contrast to produce a silhouette which I think is a lot better. I really quite like this one as it's a wee bit bit different.

Managed to catch the last few minutes of light at Badlands National park in the middle of the summer. Not much can be said about the composition.. but I definitely want to go back to capture some more unique features of this national park! It is definitely an artists' playground!

One of very few ancient landscapes remaining in London, these medieval marshes right next to the River Thames were closed to the public for over 100 years and used as a military firing range.
We managed to acquire the site in 2000 and set about transforming it into an important place for nature and a great place for people to visit. Now you can expect to see breeding wading birds in spring and summer, and large flocks of wild ducks in winter.
Birds of prey and rare birds are regularly seen too. There are also water voles in the ditches and rare dragonflies flit across the boardwalks.
There is an innovative visitor centre, with huge picture-windows that look out across the marshes. It is full of environmentally friendly features and already boasts a handful of prestigious architectural awards.
There is also a shop and café and a new wildlife garden and children's adventure play area too. A full events programme offers something for everyone, and while we still have several years to go to finish all the visitor features out on the reserve, it is already an incredible transformation. Boardwalks throughout the reserve give access for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Opening times
From 1 November to 31 January, we're open from 9.30 am - 4.30 pm. From 1 February to 31 October, it's 9.30 am - 5 pm. We're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Entrance charges
Car park: voluntary £1 donation. Reserve: Free to RSPB members and residents of Havering and Thurrock. Non-members: £3 adult, £1.50 child, £9 family (two adults and up to four children). There are extra costs for some events - please check when you book.
If you are new to birdwatching...
Birds are easy to see year round. The reserve runs a number of regular events for birdwatchers throughout the year, from novice to expert, including weekly Wednesday guided birding walk with Howard Vaughan, dawn chorus walks, winter spectacle birding event, a new birdwatching club for children, February's flock bird event and spring walks. There are also designated open days and weekends. Please see the events pages for further information.
Information for families
There is an evolving events and walks programme specially designed for families, with activities for all. All the reserve's paths and boardwalks are family and wheelchair friendly. There are also Adventure and Toddler's Playgrounds.
Information for dog owners
No dogs allowed, except registered assistance dogs. However, dogs are allowed on the Thames riverside path - a public footpath and cycleway running adjacent to the reserve.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Avocet
The delicate forms and and piping 'kluit' calls of avocets are becoming a more and more frequent site at Rainham throughout the year.
Lapwing
Lapwings from different places visit Rainham Marshes during the year. Wintering birds are replaced by breeding birds in spring and other birds that have bred further north pass through in summer and autumn.
Little egret
Little egrets can now be seen here in large numbers right throughout the year. Dispersing juvenile birds lead to a sudden rise in numbers in late summer and autumn.
Peregrine
The large concentrations of wildfowl and waders regularly attract hunting peregrines - especially in autumn and winter.
Ringed plover
These neatly banded waders can be seen performing their 'run and stop' feeding routine here.
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.

How to get here
By train
The nearest railway station to this reserve is Purfleet. Purfleet train station is on the C2C line from Fenchurch Street. The reserve is a 15 minute walk from the station following the brown pedestrian signs along the riverside path. Turn right out of the station and then join the path at the Royal Pub. Follow the Riverside path and then cross the Mardyke Bridge to the Visitor Centre.
By bus
The ensignbus 44 bus route which runs between Lakeside and Orsett Hospital, Grays, stops near the reserve entrance on New Tank Hill Road. This bus runs every hour and up to 30 minutes during peak periods. The service is operated by Ensignbus (01708 865656).
By road
The reserve is located off New Tank Hill Road (A1090) in Purfleet which is just off the A1306 between Rainham and Lakeside. This is accessible from the Aveley, Wennington and Purfleet junction off the A13 and J30/31 of the M25.
Cycling at Rainham Marshes
RSPB Rainham Marshes is just a stone's throw from London, easily accessible by public transport, on foot and by bike. Located on ancient marshland nestled beside the river Thames, it really is a special place to enjoy the great outdoors.
The reserve itself offers a leisurely amble in a superb setting with fantastic facilities such as an award-winning, eco-friendly visitor centre with cafe and shop.
If cycling is your thing, a brand new cycle route links the villages of Purfleet and Rainham. This runs beside the reserve, following the Thames, looping round and passing the stone barges.
Both on the reserve and along the riverside path, you will see a variety of interesting, sometimes rare, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians as well as bugs and beasties of all kinds. You will also be able to learn so much of the history and importance of this area.
Our work here
Rainham Marshes protects an ancient, low-lying grazing marsh in the Thames Estuary. Its complex of wet grassland and ditches, together with rank grassland and scrub, supports many breeding and wintering birds.
Wildlife also includes scarce wetland plants and insects, and a key population of the nationally declining water vole.
The site has a history of neglect, but the RSPB is working to restore important habitats and improve their biodiversity. This will transform a former wasteland into an important natural asset, and help raise public awareness of local conservation issues.
Managing the marsh
Birdlife on the marsh includes breeding waders, such as lapwing, redshank and snipe, as well as important numbers of wintering wildfowl, waders, finches and birds of prey.
We plan to enhance the habitat for these birds by creating a mosaic of unflooded tussocky grassland, flooded short grassland and semi-permanent pools. This will also benefit important plant species, such as golden dock.
Meanwhile we will improve the ditch system for the benefit of water voles, reptiles and amphibians, invertebrates and breeding birds.
Leaving well alone
We will leave the areas of tall rank grass and scattered scrub unmanaged in order to retain their existing conservation value. Wildlife in these habitats includes small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates, and birds such as wintering short-eared owls and breeding stonechats.
We will also look after sandy areas for their specialist insect life.
Silt lagoons
Lagoons on the reserves are currently used for commercial silt dredging. We will work around this in order re-create and maintain a complex of brackish lagoons and reed-swamp for important wildlife, including breeding, wintering and passage waterfowl.
While some lagoons will remain operational, we will manage others rotationally and keep the rest permanently open.
Access for all
We aim to make the site accessible to everyone, without impinging on the dredging operation or compromising our conservation priorities. We will develop and promote the reserve as a major visitor attraction and centre for environmental education. We aim to encourage interest in local and general conservation, and create a broader understanding of the work of the RSPB.
Funding
Current work is being funded by the EU’s Interreg IVA Two Seas Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013, Homes and Communities Agency’s Parklands Funding administered by Essex County Council, and Biffa Award and Veolia Cleanaway Havering Riverside Trust, both through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Thanks to help on the reserve from employees of Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Earthwatch, Barclays, Royal Mail, Family Mosaic, Ipsos Media we have been able to deliver more for wildlife and people at Rainham Marshes.
I managed to corral about a dozen image for a Postapaloozas, so here we go...
This is the son of a best friend of mine, out on the East Coast.
Image made with my Hasselblad 500 C/M.
I encountered this Blue Tit early in the morning and observed it through my small binoculars. I managed to capture this intriguing pose with a shutter speed of 1/640. Its focused demeanor and acrobatic stances are captivating to witness; sometimes, I observe them listening attentively. During this season, they are busy and incredibly active, hastily collecting materials for their nests. The pair I observed divides the labor and coordinates their efforts. The male gathers the necessary materials and brings them to the nest, while the female likely tends to the nest materials for minutes at a time. I believe the female will begin incubating soon. Judging by its stance and expression, I'm inclined to believe it's a male! I found it fascinating and couldn't resist sharing it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), often simply called "blue tit," is a small and colorful bird belonging to the family Paridae, which includes tits, chickadees, and titmice.
Scientific classification: Cyanistes caeruleus
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Paridae
Genus: Cyanistes
Species: C. caeruleus
Physical Description:
Size: Blue Tits are small birds, measuring around 10 to 12 centimeters (4 to 4.7 inches) in length.
Weight: They typically weigh between 9 to 12 grams (0.3 to 0.4 ounces).
Coloration: They have vibrant blue and yellow plumage, with blue wings and tail, a yellow belly, and a distinctive blue cap on the head. The intensity of their colors can vary among individuals and populations.
Distribution: Blue Tits are native to Europe and parts of North Africa and Asia. They are widespread throughout their range.
Habitat: They inhabit a variety of wooded and shrubby areas, including forests, woodlands, parks, gardens, and urban areas. They are adaptable birds and can thrive in diverse habitats.
Diet: Blue Tits are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects, caterpillars, spiders, and other invertebrates. They also consume seeds, nuts, berries, and occasionally feed on small fruits.
Foraging: They are agile and acrobatic birds, often seen hopping from branch to branch while foraging for food. They may also visit bird feeders, particularly during the winter months.
Breeding: Blue Tits typically breed from late April to June. They nest in tree holes, nest boxes, or other suitable cavities. The female lays a clutch of eggs (usually around 7 to 14 eggs) and incubates them for about two weeks. Both parents participate in feeding the chicks until they fledge, which usually occurs around 16 to 22 days after hatching.
Social Structure: Blue Tits are generally social birds and may form mixed-species flocks, especially during the non-breeding season. They communicate using a variety of vocalizations, including calls and songs.
IUCN Red List Status: Least Concern. Blue Tits have a large and stable population, and their range extends over a significant geographic area. However, local populations may face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and predation.
Cultural Significance:
Blue Tits are beloved by birdwatchers and are commonly featured in art, literature, and folklore across their range.
They are also important in controlling insect populations, making them beneficial to ecosystems and agriculture.
Overall, the Blue Tit is a charming and adaptable bird known for its vibrant colors, agile behavior, and melodious songs.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

I managed to catch the spectacular fireworks display last night that was part of the Auckland Anniversary Day celebrations. This was taken from Westhaven marina - I didn't get myself into a very good position as the boats in the foreground got in the way a bit (I thought the fireworks would be higher!).
652 managed to throw me off here, because it is displaying City Loop on the front but I hadn’t cottoned onto the fact it was going the other way. As such I ended up seeing it twice when I could’ve instead focused my efforts on searching for a different turquoise to photograph.
Here it climbs Melbourne Road on 27.3.25

Well, finally managed to get out this week, maybe not as spectacular as the sunsets of the two previous nights, but a sunset nonetheless.
Quite a few photographers out tonight, I was joined by fellow BCC members Mike and Gerald

Managed to get round to posting the interior view. Thought it was best positioned adjacent to the exterior view for better context. This church has a really special feel to it. The plaster ceiling in the nave was a replacement of the medieval timber one which was probably a ot less ornate. The replacement itself i pretty old too dating from the 1630's
Woody just sat on the remote and turned the TV off. Couldn't work out why I couldn't turn it on again, only to eventually find out he had somehow managed to change the AV output....
luckily i managed to get to the 80cm distance from this posing herring gull, which is required of the lc-a's zone focus. and black and white film photography seems to go nicely with the gloomy, murky days of the uk's winter..
