Part 3, the Razorbills and Guillemots, two of the more wide spread and abundant sea birds but surprisingly hard to photography from the cliffs as the fly close to the sea and usually stay lower down on the cliffs but I gave it a bit of time and I hope that you like the results;I will start off with the Razorbills, these proved the hardest bird to photograph while I was away and I didn't quite get

Well here is part 2, the Gannets... These truly are one of my Favourites birds, so graceful and manoeuvrable for such large birds and there were so many of them I thought they would be easy to get photos of but because there were so many, you never new were to point your lens...I started off around the Gannet colony with a few of the stationary birds;After this I turned my attention to the many

My Mum and Dad had a week away last week, they headed over to the east coast just up from Bridlington, so they could visit Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough head to see the Puffins and the sea bird colonies, whilst they were over they, they were kind enough to invite Charlotte and Me over for 3 days so I would have a chance for a spot of photography as it something that I’ve wanted to do for a long

Well I managed to get out for a days birding over to Marshside, it was so nice to get back to the usual grounds after a break, I started off the day in Sandgrounders Were as always I started snapping away at the summering Avocets, these must be pictures 1 million and 2 and 3 in my Avocet album, such a beautiful and recognisable bird, I cant stop taking pictures of them,Once I had finished taken

In my mind, its not just the birds singing and the lambs gambling that lets you know that spring is here, for me it's the over powering smell of Hawthorn marinated with essence of garlic drifting through the woodlands, the first Orchid of the summer and spotting the smaller changes in nature, the iridescent blue Damsel flies darting around the ponds, Butterflies and moths starting to emerge and

Spring has sprung and the grass had rise I know where the business is.... Everywhere!!! I can't seem to get away from it this time of year, Fighting, Flirting, Feeding and that’s just in my way through town but on a serious note this is just an amazing time of year to be out and about watching the birds and the babies, I just love finding a nest then sitting back in the undergrowth watching the

Well... With the weather been nice for the past couple of weeks, I have decided to do a dinner time project, rather then sitting in the canteen or sitting at home, I've been going for a walk around around my local lodge waiting for photo opportunities to arise, and I like to think that they did and I took them, I hope that you think the same...Well I hope that you like this selection of picture,

Well it's a bit of an ironic twist that as all the planes get grounded due to the Icelandic volcano and I do a series of flight shots, with the sun shining and not a cloud in the sky I though that it would be a good opportunity to take a number of flight shots, a series of pictures that I have wanted to take for a long time, I hope you like them...This is my favourite picture of the set, when I

Well over the last few weeks that I've been out, I have accumulated a number of landscape pictures that I haven't displayed yet, with limited bird activity around this migration period, I turned to the landscapes an area in my photography that I am trying to improve, I hope that you like the selection... This is my favourite picture that I have taken recently, I want to title it,Sun Shines on the

Well I had an afternoon out last week in hope of photographing a few frogs, I started by having a walk around one of there usual spawning areas and unusually for me I was right first time around and they were there so I got down low took a few shots then left them up to there business and after looking at my records from last year, they arrived during the exact same week 1 year on, some times

Well once again, it's been a long time, due to university and work but this has given me the chance to do a bit of thinking and I have decided that my blog need a bit a refresh, so out of the many pictures that I have got to upload, this is just a small practise sample, I hope that you like it, please feel free to leave any comments and for anyone who has struggled leaving comments due to the

well this is virtually nose bleed territory, 2 blogs in 2 weeks, this week I didn't have much time to spare, so I just went for a walk around a local reservoir, not really expecting to much I just pottered round without a care in the world, after walking for about 10min. I noticed a small group of 3 Goldeneye (1 male, 2 females) milling around very close to the edge, sensing a possible photo

Well once again I'm going to have to apologise for the recent lack of posts but with college work and a recent fishing trip over to Lincolnshire the blog has taken a bit of a back seat but I'm hoping to update at least weekly from now on...Well this is a bit different but I thought that I'd make it a post anyway, I head over to Lincolnshire for a 4 day pike fishing trip with an old school friend(

Well it was a bit late in coming but last weekend I along with Charlotte, my sister, brother in law, grandma, grandad and Dad received our final Christmas present in the form of a weekend away to Ingleton, so I would like so say a massive thank you to her for organising a fantastic weekend; the first day we decided to head away from Ingleton and spend a day around Grasmere and Haweswater it was

Well I headed out this weekend as I had no work to do, Friday I shot over to Marshside, in hope of seeing the Bitten that has taken up residence for the last week but I lasted about 15 min. scanning over Crossens before I gave into the cold and headed inland, silly me forgot my hat and gloves, thought I was getting frost bite although this little male Stonechat did make me feel a bit warmer for

Well it's back to Uni and back to the insular life that are assignments... but still I'm not one to complain, I managed to get out a few Fridays back to Martin Mere, where most off the water was still frozen... I hope that you like them... "Evening Mere""Ruff"Possibly my favourite sight of the day was seen Whooper Swans running across the ice to challenge a nearby family but when it came to

Well I had a day out on Friday and I decided a twitch was in order, I started the day early and headed over to Crosby Marina in some ungodly temperatures and despite what the Clock says, it was the morning. Crosby was a place I had never ventured to before, so on arrival I was full of anticipation and hope of seeing the Black Necked Grebe, that has been providing fantastic views very close to the

Some people complain about the cold weather but I Love it, it bring out a unique beauty that only a good cold snap can reveal and this sometimes makes wildlife do things that they wouldn't usually....Well the weather was a bit rough, so we decided to stay local and have a walk around a local lake, not feeling to enthusiastic, I plodded on and my spirits were soon to be lifted, as I wondered down

Well it was the morning after the night before and my head felt like there was still a party going on up there but I was determined to get out, so I went for the easy option and headed over to Martin Mere With a large bottle of water and a few paracetamol; on arrival things seemed quite, a few hundred shelducks skating around the frozen lakes and the usual couple thousand whoopers waddling around

HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the bestfor 2010...Well the hype of Christmas had started to settle down so on boxing day we decided to have a walk around a local lodge to see what was around, when we arrived, we noticed that most of the lake was frozen over providing a some unique photo opportunities with all the water foul suppressed into a tiny area and ice skating swans, a first for me and by the

Well first of all I would like to say a massive happy Christmas to all the views of this blog and I truly hope that you have had a wonderful time but it's not over yet, with the new year approaching a frightening speed many good times, feasts and beverages are yet to be had.I have managed to get out a few times over the Christmas period, what with all the university work handed in and work

Well I had a day out last Friday, in hope of seeing the Shore lark that had been reported the day before, this was the fourth time that I had been out to try and see this bird, "I must see it this time, I can't be that unlucky" I thought but no, I set the alarm for some ungodly winter hour called 6 o'clock, it was pitch black but this meant that I was treated to a very special sunrise, which I

Work, work, work, work, work, work, work work.... I was so fed up, I took my camera to "WORK" and as soon as I came on my dinner break I shot off to my local park to take a few snaps; you can't beat relaxing with nature on your break but it becomes so hard to reluctantly drag your self back, still it's the thing you have to do...I know that these are all very simple species of birds and animals

"Causeway"Well first of all I think that I should introduce myself, just in case you have forgotten about me, it's been almost a month since I last posted... so I think I owe you an apology, don't worry I've not given up on it, I've just been swamped with university work and working, I've not had a minuet spare but that changed this Friday and I made a break for it and sprinted up to Leighton

Well I woke up this morning a 9:45 so I decided to get up and head out to see what I could see out and about; sat down stairs eating my toast, I glanced up at the clock 8:45.....? "confused" before my mum shouted from the other room, "so did you remember to turn your clocks back last night".....DAMN... an extra hour in bed and I forgot... But still I headed out in hope of photographing a few

I had an hour to spare on my dinner today so I headed off to my local park in hope of photographing the Gray Squirrels that I know inhabit this area and if patient enough, you will usually get close up views. Thankfully this proved to be the case, within 10 minuets, the first one had appeared but kept its distance in a near by tree,unlike the second which came bouncing out of a bush and happily

Well, all work and no play makes Lee a sad boy, so when I finished early on Monday, I decided to head down to a local park, to see what was around; with just over an hour to play with, I headed down to one particular area that usually throws up a few photo opportunities; on arrival I was nicely surprised to find a Nuthatch flitting around occasionally coming down to feed seemingly oblivious to my

I recently came across some pictures that I took earlier on in the year, I went for a romantic weekend away to Ingleton with my other half; whilst I was there I decided to drag her up the hardest walk I could find to take some photos and never even put them on my blog but she enjoyed it really and hope fully it was the first of many weekends away:- These are just a Few of the many pictures that I

It's such a beautiful feeling, to be wrapped, warm under the covers but oblivious to the brief world that shows it's self occasionally this time of year. Outside a crisp autumn fog is slowly burnt off by a soft but persistent sun, to reveal a world that sparkles in the wind, spider's webs transformed into strands of pearls and leaves glisten saturated with dew; so I decided to drag myself out and

I recently had a day out over a Southport, managed to see a very distant Great White Egret but appart from that the birding was rubbish so I decided that I would turn my attention to the landscape, as it was such a beautiful evening... A rare treat this "summer" if you can call it that:- so here they are:- Well short but sweet hopefully, back out tomorrow, think Leighton Moss might be favourite,

Well first of all I would like to apologise for the prolonged lack of blogs but due to recent illness, and the return back university I have been over loaded with work and unable to get out but hopefully that will change, a day off tomorrow and a day out. I'm so undecided what to do, Great White Egret... Leach's Storm Petrels... 2 Long-billed Dowitcher or maybe I'll just chill at a local patch???

Well it's not quite the same as the Great White Egret that I spotted over at Southport last Thursday but still a wonderful bird... I had to get that in as I was the first one to see it lol...Yes that's right the Little Egret, such a wonderful bird to have in this country, I remember about 10 year ago if not more I was at Fairhaven Lake with my family and a Little Egret had turned up at

As my last attempt didn't turn out as well as I had hope, I recently took advantage of an opportunity I had to photograph a few Common Darters and a Migrant Hawker.I hope that you like them:- Migrant Hawker Common DarterWell I hope that you like the pics,thanks always Lee Harrison.

I recently spent half an hour out on a dinner break, scouring a local hedgerow in search of beetles, bug and insects, which didn't really throw anything up except these little crackers. A small group of Hawthorn Shield Bugs, a first for me but hopefully not a last.Hope that you like the pictures:-Well I hope that you like these pictures, thanks for having a look and I hope that you stop by again,

Well I had another day up at Heysham yesterday, trying to connect with my new obsession of the Med Gull, I have always loved gulls, I find them fascinating for some some reason and lately I have been stuck by envy when a few people I know had fantastic views of a moulting adult Sabine's Gull off New Brighton, a bird that I have always wanted to see.But still I'm sure that there will always be

Well I had another day out at Heysham today in hope of getting some better shots of the Mediterranean Gull that proved tricky last time... I did manage to find the same bird but it only lasted about 2 minute before been blown away by the hurricane force winds, so I didn't get any more pictures but I wasn't to be disappointed...Just a short walk down the front, I came across a Sandwich Tern

Well this might not be exactly what you expect... No I've not been on holiday, I've been to Heysham, to try and photograph a Mediterranean Gull as they a seen frequently here, a place where I've never been before but will definitely be returning to in the near future. I was very impress by the place and I managed to fine my desired species in the form of an adult in non-breeding plumage and a

Well I had a day out with my Dad today, with no specific species in mind that I wanted to photograph, so I just snapped what ever I came across, which included one of my favourite birds the Peregrine falcon, that came swooping over head chasing an unsuspecting little Ruff stunning it into a nearby dyke that luckily surviving the terrifying experience with nothing but bad memories and I also

Well I recently spent some time out trying to photograph Red Deer at a relatively local spot but unfortunately the weather has been well rubbish, not bad for a walk out but pants for taking any pictures. So today I decided to take some shots and hope for the best so don't expect anything special.I'm going to start off with this pic of a Roe Deer that I snapped up at Brockholes Quarry a few weeks

Well I had an hour down one of my local patches, just wondering along the River Yarrow with the sun setting and the gentle trickling of the river, you won't get a more relaxing place. I sat down next to a slightly deeper pool were the odd fish started to rise, snatching unsuspecting insects off the surface, creating hypnotic rings which disperse into infinity....It was bliss....This was before I

Well, this year I have tried to take a particular interest in the smaller thing in life from the most beautiful Butterfly to the "ugliest" bug. So over the last week I have been keeping an eye out for beetles that are scuttling around and have mannages to come up with a few different species so I hope that you like them:- Investigator Beetle Green Shield Beetle Forest BugWell I hope that you

Well I had a little bit of time to spare in between the football today, so I decided to pop out to try and photograph something that I have never tried before in the form of Dragon Flies, even though slightly weird looking, they are such a beautiful and an amazing insect once you manage to get close to them and just to think that these creatures were around when the dinosaurs were here, it's like

I decided to head over to Ainsdale beach tonight in hope of photographing a number of gulls, inparticular the Common Gull that doesn't really live up to its name but as you can see, the evening sun was that beautiful I took advantage of some of the others around on the beach, I hope that you like them:-Common Gulls Anyway thanks for visiting I hope that you like what you see,Thanks always Lee

Well... eventually a plan that actually worked, I have been on so many adventures this year that come to no avail but not this one. I decided to have a day trip up Arnside in search of the elusive Scotch Argus, as I recently found out that one of the very few colonies in Britain is up there, as we set off the sun was shining and everything was coming to life, foot to the floor we bombed up the

I recently spent some time up around Heysham and Silverdale in hope of connecting with a number of different butterflies, mainly the Comma as I had never seen one before but much to my delight I found a couple feeding on a large Buddleia and they were amazing, I hope to meet them again some time, I was also hoping that I might be able to find a Brown Argus as I had been given directions to a

I recently had some inspiration after looking on one of the blogs that I follow, I saw a picture of a Blood sucker as most people call them or "Rhagonycha fulva" if you want to me technical but I challenge anyone to try and pronounce it, colse up these insects have very distinct little faces and can produce an effective picture if all goes well. Although I struggled due to the face I have no

....Well as you probably guessed, I decided to try and do some Bee photography yesterday as it was such a glorious day, the sun was shining and the bees were buzzing. As this year the Bees are in such decline, my Mum decided that she would replant the whole garden with all kinds of weird, wonderful and colourful flowers but the one area which they liked the best was a large Lavender plant in our

Okay, so I have decided to take different route with my sigh, rather than just been a blog sight, I am going to change it into more of a photography sight, rather than having lots of different pictures of Birds, Moths, Butterflies and insects, I will go out to take pictures of a more specific selection of creatures and try and get good pictures of them.....So here We go, I didn't have much time

During the holiday, I took a particular interest in the moths and butterflies as I am trying to learn more about the species and identifying them, but I am struggling a bit so if you see any misidentified species please let me know... Whilst we were in New Quay, we decided to have a trip out to a local Butterfly house so that we could try and get closer to these beautiful specimens:-

You would think with university over and only working 2 days a week I have plenty how time to go out and do what I wish and so did I but no, for some reason I've been so busy I have been out and about for ages, so tonight as it was such a glorious evening, I decided to have a ride around a couple of my local spots around Chorley.I started by heading to see if the Woodpecker that I had found the

I had a few hours over at Marshide today, such a fabulous day, butterflies everywhere, White throats sings and newly hatch chicks all over the place, in front of Sandgroungers, there was a family of baby Shellduck, soon after a very Young Pipit appeared, and Mallard ducklings came into sight, such a cute start to the morning. soon after, a Redshank came and landed close to the hide so I decided

I didn't have much time after work yesterday, so I decided to have a quick walk around my local Reservoir with a couple of nice results, as we started the walk all was quiet, a Heron fishing in the shallow,Swifts and hirundines dancing over head a Sparrowhalk gave us a close call as it landed within a metre of us an a wall, but soon departed without chance for a photo but seen such a beautiful

Again I didn't have much time today, so I just spent a couple of hours down at my local lodge in hope of getting close to one of the many Nuthatch living down there, unfortunately they proved to be very uncooperative as they kept flying in for a matter of seconds before flitting off to feed there young in a near by tree, also two pairs of Magpie kept bobbing around and collecting food to take

Right, that's enough of double entendre, down to the serious stuff, I headed up to Leighton moss on Monday, hoping to have a bit of luck and we did, as we approached a fabulous female Marsh Harrier rose up along side of our car giving great views, we pulled up and had dinner, no more than two minuets had pass when a Peregrine came soring across closely followed by a buzzard and then a marsh tit

A beautiful Morning on Wednesday, sun shining, birds singing all looks good in life, I had an early start and dragged myself out from under my duvet at 6am, in hope of catching up with a Ross's Gull at Lytham that I heard about the day before, but no luck there unfortunately.I spent a few hours just watching the waders been pushed up the beach and around Fairhaven lake, in hope that the gull

I decided to spend a day down at Marshside today with my Dad after the recent nice weather, but we were rather disappointed when the thick haze failed to clear till late afternoon but we were treated to a beautiful sunset, anyway Marshside was shaping up quite nicely, the odd Wheatears bobbing around behind the sand plant, Meadow Pipits a plenty, Skylarks singing all over the place, blackbirds

I thought that a few people might be interested in these so i decided to put them on.Well, what will be four week today i was surfing though john Dempsey blog when i noticed a comment saying that a flock of waxwing had been seen behind the Chorley council building, so i though that I'd go down and have a look for myself, seen as though i live literally two minutes away.

I was stuck at work today just thinking of that day when I win the lottery, such a glorious prize that can set you free to a life you can only dream of, I had just drifted into a fantasy world of blue Skies and lakes so clear they can lull you into a hypnotic state of tranquility, were I can spend all my time out in the field just relaxing taking some photos and spending time with my beloved,
