A couple of dates for your diary

Here's a quickie tonight for you with a couple of key dates for those of our UK based readers.

Starting on Friday October 7th, we have the return of BBC Autumnwatch. No Kate Humble this time as she is filming another BBC series, but she is replaced with Michaela Strachan, as well as Chris Packham and Martin Hughes-Games - wish he'd get a haircut :-). So looks like a rematch of the Really Wild Show from many years back, for those of you that remember that.

Anyway,, as usual with BBC Nature programmes it is bound to be a good series - I wish for those of you outside the UK you could get he BBC iPlayer as it would be great it the rest of the world could see the series.

A week later on the weekend of October 14th and 15th, there is a Wildlife Expo, down in the smoke at the Alexandra Palace. I know we have lots of London based readers so an easy one for you guys.

Meanwhile, I am hoping to pop down to the WWT London reserve later this month as Jac has a trip on business to London, so I might just have to be the chauffeur and get a day there as I have WWT membership this year.

Sorry it is just a quickie - too much other stuff going on to try to sort out today, so needs must.

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.
