Bloody Nightmare

Well last week was one of the worst that i can remember, We were being buggered about by both the builder and the apartment company so today started just as bad and i had had enough, I had to threaten the apartment company to get the problems solved and viola solved, Its a shame that you get to a state where shouting and threats happen but they seems to work, The big news is that i wrote to the builders and have asked to cancel the contract-many months wasted as well as a few sleepless nights buts it done and there is no going back, Fortunately we have managed to find a beautiful nearly finished new house in stunning countryside and are close to getting a signature on paper and maybe in the new place within a few weeks, I have to say its a weight lifted, There were a few deer prints already in the garden and we saw a couple of deer in the neighborhood walking around in daylight, So on a photographic side apart from taking shots of the new place (hopefully) the filters from Singh Ray arrived today and i hope to get out this week and put them through their paces,

I have to say sorry to Martin as i was hoping to talk on Skype over the weekend about a possible trip stateside next spring, Now that i have this sorted we can get together and start to make plans-cant wait

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.
