Its Official

Spring has sprung, The clocks went forward here on Saturday and the weather is now pleasant and warm, I went for a walk around my local lake at the weekend and the turtles are coming out of hibernation and warming themselves on the logs in the water and the lake edges, There are a lot of geese and mallards on the lake and at this time of year they get territorial and that leads to fighting which can lead to some nice images so today i spent a few hours strolling around with my D3 and 200-400 just shooting whatever happened along, I started off shooting a close in heron that was fishing and then shot the geese and turtles, I spent some time shooting the breeze with a local photographer called John before heading back, I haven't shot the opossums for a few evenings but have been watching them from the house so i will continue with them tonight

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.
