The surveys would take place in the Peak district, Yorkshire and a site close to Newcastle. All of these sites would be within a short distance from very good locations for wildlife photography and we made sure that we made good use of the weather (which at time was too bright!) Here is a small selection of the shots I took, more will follow when time allows.<br />

End of an eraSunday 12th March 2012 saw the end of an era with the demolition of the Richborough power station cooling towers. Thousands of people packed the roads and lanes surrounding the site to get a view of the last moments of these iconic East Kent symbols. I was fortunate to be able to view the spectacle from the air in a helicopter from Heli-Charter based at Manston.<br />

The first shot shows a lucky escape for one minnow as the Kingfisher "catches" a stone rather than the fish.<br />
These shots are part of an ongoing project and I will give updates as things progress.<br />

My house has been sold and I will be moving soon. My elderly mother suffered a major heart problem and has been fitted with a pacemaker. Thankfully, she is now doing well. My Father suffered a fall and broke his hip. A few days after having an op complications set in and sadly he passed away in his sleep.<br />
<br />
I hope that I will be able to keep the blog updated with a bit more regularity from now on.<br />
<br />
My passion for photographing Kingfishers started a few years ago. It seems that once bitten by "the bug" you have to keep going back and try out new ideas. Not being satisfied with "a bird on a perch" (although I still take perch shots whenever the opportunity arises) I have tried many different approaches to capture diving shots. Previous experience told me that the only way to obtain "sharp" diving pictures was to use high speed flash. Now a few years on and using a Nikon D3 with superb high iso capabilities, I have tried again using the cameras top shutter speed of 8000th sec. Despite firing hundreds of frames I have yet to obtain a truly sharp image of a diving Kingfisher, however I have managed to get sharp shots of birds erupting from the water and I have posted some of those images here. <br />
I have also included a perch shot which shows a young female taking up an aggressive stance to warn off another Kingfisher that is flying into her territory.<br />

An invitation to join him this morning was too tempting to miss, despite a 3.30am start!<br />
One more day would have been too late as this particular Cuckoo was jumping in and out of the nest. I am sure within 24 hours it would have flown.<br />

There are at least 2 sets of Fox cubs that seem to have no fear of the road. At least 3 have been killed this year so far. I saw this youngster sitting by the side of the road, so I pulled over and stopped. Rather than walk straight across he decided to sit in the middle of the road posing. Sadly the light was very poor and the images, although full frame, are very noisy (should have used the D3!!)</div><br />

I wanted to get shots of Banded Demoiselle before the day warmed up and while they were settled. A quick call to Brett lewis confirmed that he would be up and about too, and so a 5am start was made. It seems that I could have had a few more hours in bed as there was not a Demoiselle to be seen. Still, we managed a few shots of what was on offer... Dameslflys...<br />
