Swifts/Swallow
Lots of patience to photograph these aerial experts, very fast and unpredictable! This was the best we could do - amazing to observe, we have spent hours watching them!
Local Images
Yet more sunset pics and one weather picture, we were out photographing Swifts, the weather was hit and miss, one minute sunny then rain.

Dunlin and Ringed Plover
Firstly a Dunlin shot. I love Ringed Plovers and to get these shots I had to lay flat on my front in the mud and wait for them to approach! The lengths we go to!
Less Than Perfect Shots!
I tried in vain to get a good photo of a displaying Sedge Warbler, they are so small and fast and in less than perfect light, nearly impossible to get "locked on" to. This was the best I could do! Also here is a record shot of a Little Ringed Plover in flight and also a Swallow and a Linnet
Pied Wags
On a visit to Chowder Ness I took delight in watching these displaying. They reminded me of little pogo-sticks as they bounced along!
Tawny Owl
One of those magical nature moments! I arrived in thick fog on my local reserve and as I turned a corner this beauty was sat out in the open, I shared ten minutes in its company and it seem quite undisturbed by my presence. Wonderful!!
Orange Tip
I love these little butterflies. Their camouflage on the cow parsley is amazing -until they open their wings!
Flamboro'/Bempton
We enjoyed last weekend at the above. The weather was very kind to us! We stayed locally at the brilliant West Carlton guest house - http://www.west-carlton.co.uk/ Perfectly situated for visits to the above places. Wonderfully relaxing and secluded , with comfortable clean accommodation with little extras and yummy breakfast! A nature lovers paradise!! Here we are at Flamborough, North Landing
