Birds
Wetland Birds
Focusing on birds from the wetlands of the Somerset Levels, these pictures are mainly of swans and ducks. Several pictures were taken at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust sites at Slimbridge and London, where the birds were easier to approach.
Countryside Birds
The birds of the countryside are much harder to photograph. Most pictures are unplanned opportunities taken on my walks around local nature reserves.
Starling Displays
Westhay, Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath are famous for their displays of millions of starlings. From November to January the birds arrive at dusk to overnight amongst the reeds, leaving at first light in an explosion of noise and feathers.
