Wildlife Photography across the Water: A couple of October moths

A couple of October moths

Whilst I said I was going to bring images from my visit to WWT London in my last post, I still haven't got around to sorting, sifting and processing the images yet, what with one thing and another.

I did put the moth trap out last night for the first October moths. Not a large haul, maybe about thirty or so, but part of that may be down to one of the lamps on the trap not working. Maybe a starter or one of the ballast units has gone. Hope it is the former.

Anyway, a few usual suspects of Carpet and Grey Chi which I have shared before.

There was a very nice Snout as well, but that flew off before I could get an image.

These two are the Black Rustic (new) and the lovely Angle Shades, which I have shared before.

Used some different backgrounds today for a change.

Subject to getting some time to process tomorrow, I will get the London images up next time. Although, I am expecting a fair old headache in the morning as an evening drinks session is about to start with some friends.

Cheers

Martin

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.
