Center Parcs Wildlife


I am spending a few days at Elveden Forest with Sadie and El. The birds and squirrels are very used to people and visit our patio. Here are the best of today's effort. The Jay came much closer but I wasn't ready with the camera. I was trying for birds in flight so am pleased with the Bluetit and Marsh tit (or is it Willow?). The Coal tit perched obligingly on the branch I had erected for it.

Toft Golf Course




Four images from a walk around our local golf course. I liked the second image of the semi-frozen Bourn Brook for the juxtaposition of the bird footprints, tree reflection, snow and ice.



Dog Walking in Snow

Chippenham Park


The snowdrops are not quite at their best at Chippenham Park so I spent a bit of time with the frost on leaves and ice patterns including bubbles frozen into the ice.

Tattersalls February Stallion Parade



Geoff wanted some pictures of himself with the stallion, Notnowcato, that he looks after for the Stanley House stables so we went off to the Tattersalls Stallion Parade and February Sales. I particularly like the one below where Geoff and Notnowcato are obviously sharing a great joke.

Contrasty light in Cambridge


Very contrasty light today made interesting shadow images. It also lit the interior of King's College Chapel sufficiently to balance the outside light through the windows. I keep trying to get a good image of the St John's spiral staircase.
