Review of the Year Part 10 - October

So into the final quarter of the year.

The Autumn was very dry in the UK and so it was barren for fungi until November, or at least it was around here in Warwickshire.

In terms of blogs for the month, we made 38 posts for the month.

I had a go at Bats in flight and Dave melted his flash head.

Canon announced the 1Dmk4, which still hasn't made it into the shops here in the UK in any numbers, and Nikon announced the D3S.

Dave took a trip to the Smokey Mountains plus here, here and here and to New York for a few of days.

I got all philosophical about unpaid beta testing for manufacturers and we shared a few news stories with you from the world of wildlife and here too.

Stat porn for October 2,418 page views from 561 unique visitors from 38 countries.

Two more to go

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.
