  1. Bossy boots

    Bossy boots

    I had a gentle wander around the village and found a Lesser Black-backed Gull, sitting on a neighbour's roof. They really try to look regal, don't they.

    Bathing

    Birdforum's Andy Rowlands lives not too far from my brother, so I usually try to meet up with him for a day's birding when I'm down there. This time we met at Pontypool and at lunchtime we sat beside the canal. I was watching a Moorhen having a bath on the other side and took a few pictures...

  7. I know it's there!

    I know it's there!

    This guy fairly gave me the run-around in the car park at Big Pit. It was almost impossible to get a good view of him.... he was either in the road, half hidden by the kerb, or in the long grass. About 6 shots and this was the best I got! LOL Amazing how unconcerned by the traffic and people he...

    Llangorse Lake

    Out for the day with Andy Rowlands ummm... raptor hunting. I did see a Stonechat and Wheatear on my way to pick him up. But before doing anything we had to go to Cwmbran for him to buy a camera. No, no, no... please don't make me go there ever again!!! Last year I showed you a picture of...

  9. Busy feeders

    Busy feeders

    This feeder was further away from where I was sitting, so it's quite a heavy crop. House Sparrows had been joined by a Blue Tit on this one. One of the open sales barns where they sold the feeders and bird food, had birds just wandering in and out helping themselves!

    Near Resolven

    I had a day out with BF member Andrew Rowlands and we drove for miles along the "Heads of the Valleys" road (South Wales has a series of valleys running north-south that in the past contained many coal mining communities - including Aberfan, scene of a terrible disaster in 1966, this...

    Sunset on the Gower Peninsula

    I had been photographing the sunset at Rhossili on the Gower Peninsula, but sadly, at the peak of it`s beauty, I had to hurry off to catch the last bus home! I turned round for one last lingering look, and noticed this couple strolling romantically towards the fiery sky, and was able to quickly...
