Here are a few shots of grey seals including pups taken during a trip to the Farne Islands.  Spotting the seals was not a problem on the day as there were literally hundreds either swimming or just simply at rest.

Ring-Necked Parakeet

Here are a couple of shots of a ring-necked parakeet taken at Broad Colney Lakes nature reserve in Hertfordshire.  For once it was a pleasure to observe a parakeet feeding in relative silence as they are infamous for being very noisy.

Blenheim Palace

Here are a few shots of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire which I recently visited for the very first time.  I have only posted photos of the outside of the palace and its vast grounds as this is what I found to be the most impressive.  With regard to the inside of the Palace I found it relatively disappointing and observed nothing different than what I have seen in lesser renowned properties (I will post some inside shots later and you can decide).  However, the exhibition relating to one of our greatest, Sir Winston Churchill, was a highlight and a most interesting exhibit.

The following shots of a Jaguar were taken at the Cat Survival Trust in Hertfordshire. A fantastic looking big cat and although  elusive on the day, probably due to the dismal weather, a small  opportunity eventually presented itself.  Many more details here: http://www.catsurvivaltrust.org/default.aspx
