Go West

Just a quicky for me, I am all packed and ready for an early start to head west to San Francisco via Dallas, Looks like i will be leaving 80+ degrees and heading for 60+, I just hope that it stays dry, So whats on the list-well firstly Eared Grebes would be nice, I know a lake where they have been lately and its not too far from where i will be staying-fingers crossed as they will be a new specie for me, Avocets in breeding colours are always a treat and i hope for a day or so out on the sea in a kayak for sea otters-thats all dependant on the weather but i really enjoy seeing and photographing then so i am sure it will happen, I will also be meeting up with one of our blog readers which will be nice-more of that later next week
So the batteries are charged and the sensors have had a quick clean, I love California as there is just so much to shoot

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.
