Wildlife Photography across the Water: Frogblog Part 9

Frogblog Part 9 - Final part for this year

Regular readers, particularly earlier in the year, will have read my Frogblog series as I updated their progress from mating through to spawn, tadpoles and then froglets.

If you want to check out earlier posts on frogblog, try here.

Well the garden is covered in froglets now - everywhere you go and walk, there they are, little hoppers all over the place, that I try not to tread on.

Today, I did another area of wildflower cutting with my brush cutter. With a reasonable height of cut, I hope that I didn't kill any of the little things. Certainly, when I inspected the areas afterwards, there were hundreds of the little things.

I also saw a lot of young Smooth newtlets from this years breeding.

So I am closing frogblog down for this year now, unless I get any more great sightings or photos, then I will, of course share them with you all.

Just a quickie today, as you are getting lots of lovely pictures from Dave's trip to California.

Oh yes and welcome to our 70th follower - Leah Sian photography. We hope you enjoy our blog, and we welcome your comments and feedback whenever you care to.

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.
