Just a quickie tonight

To remind you all here in the UK or at least those who can access the BBC iPlayer of the wonderful series that is Bird Britannia,

It is shown on BBC4 at 2100 on Wednesdays and repeated the following evening at 1930. It is a fabulous series for those of you with interest in our wild birds in the UK. Covering not just wonderful images and video of birds, but a great look back at the history of the various species.

Following the Thursday repeat, we have been treated to the fabulous Autumn at 2030 on BBC2. Again, if you have missed any of these, do catch up with them on iPlayer.

When the Birds Britannia series DVD set is available, I will put the link up which will hopefully be international so those of you overseas who cannot access the iPlayer can at least order the DVD should you wish.

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.
