Good news! The insurance company have replaced my camera with the near equivalent Pentax K-r – but of course it is new. At this time of year the birds that have finished their nesting tend to rest and moult and consequently stay out of view. This is the time us wildlife photographers look for other subjects and it is usually insects! But don't be dismayed if at first this doesn't seem appealing because there are beautiful butterlies and dragonflies out there and even flies look good close up!
Here are some I've recently taken.
