Sunrise on the Thames

It was forecast to be a clear sunrise on Monday so we walked through to the Thames around 7am. These images are in order and show how the colours changed towards pink with direction of view and as the cloud built up. The exposures (for future reference!) in sequence were 20 secs, 20 secs, 6 secs, 1.3sec,1.3 sec and the rest 1 second, all at f22 using live composite mode on the Olympus EM1 II  - I didn't record how many exposures each had - obviously more where there were changes in the highlights being added as with reflections or contratrails. Not sure what passed behind St Pauls and left a dotted trail (?ideas)

Bradgate Park Dawn Onwards

Members of the RPS Nature Group met at 7am for a walk at Bradgate on Monday and our early morning start was rewarded with a colourful sunrise and plenty of Red and Fallow deer activity during the day.

2023 Earliest Sunrise

 Today (June 17th), the sun rose at 4.37am and continues at this time until June 21st when it will rise at 4.38am and then progressively later  till December!. I caught it just as it came over the horizon and then above the treeline. I was rewarded for an early start by a group of Hares at close range though not for long! and a very vocal Whitethroat. On our pond, a Southern Hawker was emerging.

Toft Sunrise and Frosty Wood

Sometimes we just have to rejoice in the good things in life like having sheep to talk to and a great sunrise. Yesterday was a clear sunny day from dawn to dusk. I spent the morning in Hardwick Wood which looked magical with the frost and clear light; occasionally spooky and certainly our very large golden retriever was very apprehensive about the Muntjac deer barking and the Buzzards mewing very loudly in the wood.

Welney - Moon Set, Sun Rise

Members of the RPS Nature Group attended the Swans Awake event at Welney WWT yesterday and witnessed the setting of the full moon as the sun rose to give us a bright clear day for the rest of our time at the reserve. Here a few images to give the atmosphere; unfortunately the wind direction meant the swans departed away from us except for a few groups. The Barn owl over the bank was a great addition and later would become the focus of our photography.
