Here are further shots of a common kingfisher hunting for fish, taken from a hide in Worcestershire. As you can see she did not return to the perch with her catch but chose instead to dine in peace at another location.

Another few shots of a Kingfisher taken at a hide in Worcestershire. They were taken mid-afternoon in better conditions with only light rain and improving light. No fish this time!

Richmond Park – Annual Deer Rut

Posted on November 16, 2014 by John Mallaney

It would appear that I turned up a little late or the stags were having an off day as there was very little rutting going on, although there was still much roaring. The following pictures were amongst my favourites from the day particularly the three hinds laying low in the long grass. They look so relaxed and at peace. In fact I would probably go as far to say that the shot is one of the best I have ever taken. It just appeals to me, what do you think?

Grey Heron

I was reviewing some of my previous shots and came across this one of a grey heron. I decided to convert it to black and white and have to say was very pleased with the result.

RSPB Ramsey Island – Wales

Posted on October 28, 2014 by John Mallaney

Here are a few shots of the wildlife I encountered during a two hour boat trip around Ramsey Island, located 1 km off the coast of St David’s Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, Wales. A RSPB nature reserve, it is home to ravens, peregrines, choughs and buzzards. During spring guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes and shags come to nest, however by the time I visited the island the cliffs were empty, leading to somewhat limited photographic opportunities .
