Wildlife Photography across the Water: It's gonna be windy on Chrismas Eve

It's gonna be windy on Chrismas Eve

I regularly use Metcheck to see what the weather is over the horizon, even though it is not the most accurate, it is well presented and updated.

Just did a quick look ahead for the seven days here in Stratford upon Avon

Stratford weather

Looks like Stratford will be flattened on Christmas eve judging by those winds speeds - looks like their computer picked up some spurious data. 353mph wind speed would almost certainly be a UK record.

Don't think we believe that

Update: Somebody must have put another bit of coal on the metcheck boiler powered computer as they have sorted out the winds speeds now - back to 11 and 12 mph. Means I can stay at home on Christmas eve instead of being blown off to Oz.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
