Wildlife Photography across the Water: That's the Christmas Card sorted then

Sunday 10 January 2010

That's the Christmas Card sorted then

I spent a couple of hours in my hide in the garden yesterday, in the vain hope that something interesting would turn up on mark11 tree - but just more Robins, Blackbirds, Sparrows and Chaffinches.

I could have said sadly only just those species. But I love watching all of those birds. I love watching their interaction with other birds. I love watching their behaviours.

So it was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours.

I was there when the first rays of sunshine just started coming into the garden, which gave this otherwise potential drab female Blackbird a wonderful light.

In between further snow showers birds came and went, and just as I was about to pack up, a Robin popped by.

So as the headline says that will do for the next Christmas card

As a follow up, when I pulled back the curtains this morning, a female Great Spotted Woodpecker was busying hammering out the food in Mark11 tree - hey ho!! Sod's Law is alive and well in 2010

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.
