Slimbridge 1


 A few of the wild birds that we enjoyed photographing today at Slimbridge. The Cranes were a bit elusive but great to see 10 birds gathering to hopefully mate and breed. Lots of Egret, Shelduck, Black-tailed Godwits, Rooks and  Jackdaws. More to follow

Clifton Bridge

We watched this abseiler going down the side of the Clifton Gorge as a Peregrine watched him and us from the tower of the bridge. Later we saw the Peregrine further down the Gorge.

Signs of Spring at Last


 Today in Bristol the sun shone and the temperature just made it into double figures. The flowers birds and people all responded appropriately.

Pembroke Chapel Cambridge

 Pembroke College was the first in Cambridge to have a Chapel of its own and the Chapel is the first building designed by Christopher Wren and consecrated in 1665. It is a very light Chapel rendered even more ethereal using infrared.
