Wildlife Photography across the Water: Garden catch up

Friday 23 July 2010

Garden catch up

A quick post tonight for the natural history and wild flower community. All of these images were taken in my wildlife garden in May this year. We had a great flush in May and June, but it has tailed off in July with the heatwave and dry weather. Many of the species that we saw last year have been either missing or much less this year, but these have been more than made up with additions such as the campions and birds foot trefoils.

Anyway, here is a selection for you to see.

White Clover

Birds Foot Trefoil

Charlock

Plantain

White Campion

Red Campion

Ox Eye Daisy

It has been wonderful having these a few steps from my backdoor, and waking each morning to seeing them

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.
