After a couple of years of Covid-19 restrictions, some of the brakes came off travel in 2022. Only some, though; we may have been allowed to travel but airports and airlines weren’t exactly ready and things were testing. For two…

Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 did me a favour – I discovered a natural bee bank in the country park about ½km from my back door. I spent many happy hours watching and photographing what was to me the…
Though we may not think of them as such, most peoples’ favourite beetles are probably the Ladybirds, hence this collection being associated with my Beetles page. Given the common/vernacular names, this sequence may appear random but arranged them in alphabetical…
This collection of African birds is from our trips to Namibia and Botswana. Some were snagged at distance from the rear of our transports so they are not all wonderful pictures. What might seem like a random sequence is actually…

This is hardly worth it, being just a handful – well, less, actually – of opportunistic shots from rather old tourist trips to the United States. Still, I shot ’em so I’ll use ’em. 😉 Again, sequence, for what it’s…
On a 2019 trip to Sri Lanka, before the latest terrorist attacks, I managed to grab a few more than just a handful of birds, including some very impressive specimens. Happy though I was, this collection doesn’t really scratch the…
In late March, 2019, we joined a 12-day tour of Sri Lanka with Explore! This was to be a photographic tour in the company of a professional travel photographer. It included a variety of subjects including cultural and wildlife. I, of…
Our local photographic club recently held a “STRAIGHT pictures“ evening. Fear not, it was nothing to do with sexual orientation. On the face of it, it sounded simple enough: a photograph straight from the camera with no Photoshop/Lightroom trickery. Clear?…
