Grey Heron – Into Land

Here are a number of consecutive shots showing a grey heron coming into land in shallow waters at Broughton in Aylesbury.  Although graceful looking when on land, the heron is often described as a scruffy and awkward looking bird, much of which is documented here.

Here are a few shots of an eider duck and what I believe is a juvenile eider whilst out and about in Broughty Ferry on the outskirts of Dundee, Scotland.  The eider is the UK’s heaviest and fastest flying duck and both a colourful and remarkable looking bird.

The Tay Rail Bridge, Dundee

Here are a few shots of the Tay rail bridge which I took during a short break to my home city.  The bridge is of course famous for the disaster that befell it on the 28 Dec 1879 when, during a violent storm the bridge partially collapsed, plunging a train and its passengers into the icy cold River Tay below.  It is understood that 75 people perished on that fateful night, although only 46 bodies were ever recovered.

London – Early Evening

Here are a few early evening images of London during a recent trip.  Unfortunately, I only had an hour to get the camera out.  It was fairly chilly (not that I really cared) and the fact is that you musty really go alone in order to avoid a potential domestic with your nearest and dearest.  A selfish photographer?  Never!

Mute Swan

Here are a few images of the common but nonetheless impressive mute swan taken at Western Turville reservoir in Buckinghamshire.  I am quite pleased with the shots, most of which were successful as the swans are quite sociable. © [John Mallaney] and [john mallaney In The … Continue reading →
