Wildlife Photography across the Water: 750 up

750 up

So today it is congratulations to us - this is our 750th post since we started in January 2009.

We set out trying to write something every day, and we haven't let you down. It has come close once or twice, but we have stayed with it.

So nothing more today but a little bit of reflection back over the last twenty months with more than 41,000 visits by more than 10,000 visitors from 96 countries around the world. After UK and USA, Japan, Switzerland and France are the next most visited from locations - thanks Pierre (Pete) and Jackie :-)

Although I note Vermont is STILL the only US state where we haven't been visited from. Does Vermont have the Internet?

So as we go into a holiday weekend here in the UK, I hope you all stay with us over the next goodness knows how many posts in the future. Keep your comments and feedback coming. If we know some of you read and like what we post, and your words back to us it makes all worthwhile.

Cheers

Martin

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.
