This is a photographic diary of my endeavours at wildlife photography which I started four years ago. I have always been interested in wildlife, birdwatching, the environment and the weather. I hope to combine all of these with my other longstanding hobby of photography.
I am not an avid twitcher so most of the images will be from around my home "patch" in South Essex although there will be some from holidays and other trips. I may also be inclined to travel to see a bird that particularly appeals to me in some way.
At this stage the camera and lenses I am using are at the budget end of the scale. My camera is the excellent value Pentax K-r and from December 2012 the K-30 and I most often shoot these days with a Pentax 300mm DA* or with a Sigma 150-500mm.
The galleries contain a variety of wildlife images shot over the last three years or so.

Addendum – I'm struggling to keep the gallery on here up to date but you can follow these images below in the blog and if you click on one it takes you to my Flickr photostream.
