Always take your camera


Out this morning on the Eppynt Ranges , as a second thought i took the camera with me as there are normally Kites about.
a fox was sneaking about out along the fence line when we arrived , then disappeared  only  to re-appear closer –  and i had my camera , this normally doesn’t happen for me !

Hares 
For some time i’ve been trying to get some shots of Hares, on a very cold morning in early march i was lucky enough to get close to a pair that had other things on their minds.

getting close on an open field is a challenge in itself , crawling through frosty winter wheat ended with some nice images and very muddy kit.
Later in the year i went back , and it was nice to walk around in the sun.

this last image was taken in the evening in october , its a leveret that kept trotting towards me , keeping still i watched as it came within 5 feet – too close to focus on , then a small beep from the camera told me my card was full ! – there’s always next time .

Nice 

Another day at the office 


Up early and down to the foreshore , the tide was up to the rocks and spraying over the edge , 
windy and damp to start but becoming sunnier  but still a bit chilly in the breeze .

a few hardy souls were already up and about by the time i’d walked to the other end of the warf.

concentrating on one subject sometimes means we miss opportunities , i had one short eared pass just over my head , and there were plenty of waders flocking along the surf line.
