Wildlife Photography across the Water: Last Part of Last Daytrip

Last Part of Last Daytrip - final images from 2011

Following from my earlier posts from the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds, I promised you a few more images, so here they are. These delightful little birds were on a feeding area in the Forest and were quite accommodating.

It was particularly pleasing to get the Nuthatch as these have been pretty elusive for me photographically for a few years, and have still yet to see one in my garden in Stratford after 4 1/2 years.

All with 7D, 500f4 + 1.4 EFTC, on Gitzo 5541 tripod, Gitzo Self levelling tripod base, Arca Swiss Z1 ballhead and Wimberley Sidekick for those interested in my support system. Expensive, heavy but oh so stable, easy to set up quickly, accurately and level when in a hurry.

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.
