Dinner Time Project...

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, I thoroughly enjoyed taking them on my dinner break...

Thanks always Lee Harrison.

At Least Somethings Flying...

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 first started with my photography I made a list of specific things that I wanted photograph and a Lapwing in flight was one of my main goals, after been inspired by a picture on Tom Charles' website (his link is displayed to the left) and after two year I have got a shot that I am very happy with, I hope that you like it to...



Thank you for looking at my blog, I hope that you liked what you saw, please feel free to leave an comments,

Evening Gulls...

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:-

Anyway thanks for visiting I hope that you like what you see,

Common Ground...

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 other day had fledged yet but for some reason they hadn't but now the chick look almost like an adult bird, calling all the time from the nest entrance...

Greater Spotted Woodpecker

As I was watching this little cracker, I managed to catch up with the local Spotted Flycatchers, unfortunately been very uncooperative...

After this I decided to have a quick walk around Birkacre Lodge to see if anything was around, and there wasn't that much around really, a Pair of Mute Swans with only one chick, a pair of Grebes building a nest, plenty of Black Headed Gulls and a single Common Turn fishing around the lodge,

Here are a few pics that I managed to snap on my way around..

I had a lot of uni work to do today, so I didn't get to chance to go out till after tea, so I decided to work out in the garden to see what I could see, not much around really, Goldfinch, Great Tit, House Martin, Black Headed Gull, Herring Gull, 2 Lesser Black Backed Gull, plenty of Feral Pigeons, 1 wood pigeon and plenty of Honey Bees, witch I really wanted to get a photo of in flight but it just started to bug me.

Here's a few pics. I took in between my work:-

Black Headed Gulls

And last but not least one of many Honey Bees that drove me crazy...
