Springwatch: Chippenham

With the Folk Festival pretty much a wash out and me slacking, still not many photos to post. Here are a few wildlife shots from around Chippenham...

Some macro bugs in the rain.




Last, for a bit of fun, (this is a photoshopped image), a fox and rabbit pic. I was taking photos of this fox, then after he trotted off into the hedgeline in the background the rabbit popped his head up. So I took a photo of the rabbit too and thought I'd combine them. Kind of a made up - what might have been...

Beside the Sea

Spent the weekend on the south coast, forgot to pack the suncream - thankfully it was a classic rainy seaside trip. Not so much Sun, Sea and Sand, more Showers, Soggy Chips and Seagulls.

Panoramic of Paignton seafront in the rain (it was a bit busier when the Sun came out on sunday)

Bluebell summer

Wandering through the bluebells of Savernake at the weekend, as usual I found it pretty hard to find a particularly good composition, but I think there is some progress from last year. Helped no end by spotting the deer in amongst the sea of blue. (I saw several but only this one in the flowers).





(Don't forget to click the pics for a closer view)


Just as you thought it was getting all warm, Sunny and summery, the rain reminds you - you live in England. (Not so bad if you love the rain).
