Entries in the ‘Projects’

This pair Dippers have started feeding their young in the Peak District National park. Now the real work for them starts with around three weeks of constant feeding.

Each year I always look forward to this time of year when they are rearing their young. It’s such a special time to be around one of my all time favourite birds. Click on the 4K setting for the best quality.

One of my favourite summer visitors to our shores is the Redstart. The word redstart means red tail from Old English steort.

There is something so special seeing a wild Barn Owl quartering, hovering with moth like silence while hunting. Flying effortlessly on the wing in the half-light at dawn or dusk.

I wanted to share some images of Red Squirrel’s from a site in England. This area is managed by the wildlife trust who keep an eye on this population that were almost wiped out several years ago due to the squirrel pox virus.

Each year I look forward to the Pied Flycatchers and Redstart’s arriving from North Africa. Those that follow my blog will know each summer I try to photograph both of these species in the Peak District National Park.

The Peak District National Park is a popular breeding site for the Ring Ouzel. A beautiful bird that is part of the Thrush family; Turdus torquatus. In Britain they are of high conservation concern and are classified as Red Listed due to their population decline in the last forty years.
