Parental Responsibilities

We have a nest box outside which is currently being noisily occupied by a number of great tit chicks.  As the adults were constantly going back and forward to the bird box to feed the chicks it presented me with the opportunity to capture them in flight.  I set my camera up on my tripod and using a wireless shutter remote I simply sat and waited.

Towering Above Venice

My girlfriend and I recently visited Venice for a long weekend, which was a first for both of us.  Being one of the most renowned places to visit in Europe, I was naturally keen to take my camera and take full advantage of the sights on offer – and take advantage I did, with nearly 1500 pictures taken over a 3 day period.  My first post, which will be one of many over the next few months, was taken from the top of San Marco tower, providing stunning views of the city.  Unlike the first two days which were hot and sunny, the conditions were somewhat overcast, not that I am complaining.  If you ever have the opportunity to visit Venice, do not hesitate – it may not be one of the cheapest destinations, but the sights and native Venetians make it a must.

Here are a few shots of a grey heron taken recently at Western Turville reservoir near Aylesbury.  Surprisingly, this little fella did not seem perturbed at all.
