Wildlife pictures

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
The access to the upper Holmes River valley is about 20 minutes east of my place.
Sometimes, the wildlife appears and disappears so quickly that even a quickie grab shot is impossible.
These guys are not uncommon, they don't need to be in a hurry for anybody at all.

First is an adult, possibly most of a yard from nose to tail.

Second is a very young one, the size of a big loaf of bread.
In the next moment, the little one fell over a branch and got high-centered with all 4 legs flailing in the air.
Had to go step on the branch and off the kid went.

Went for a wander on the weekend and could hear the Grass hoppers giving it loads, so had to try and capture one, but with a 55 to 300 lens on one camera and a 50 to 500 on the other it was a bit of a challenge...

Got this though

Nice shot Alf I used to come across a few dead bucks in the woods on the other side of the road from them shots. The majority of them were 2 years old. I'm already missing the old open cast site.
 
Thanks Liam
What drew you all the way down there?

The wife was getting home sick and I was fed up in my job. Luckily I've landed my self a job with NRW on the fishery side so I'm spending the summer in welsh rivers rather than a desk :cool: i do look forward to your photos though just to keep in touch with the old local area.

A picture from yesterday in our (very dark so ISO 5000!) barn of one of a pair of proud swallows currently being run ragged by their recently fledged brood of four chicks who have been consuming huge quantities of flying insects. :)
