LOCAL IMAGES.

I`ve spent alot of time preparing a talk and slideshow for The Preston Society which was on the 27th of Jan,so now I can concentrate on getting my blog back on track.The fungi was taken in HaslamPark which I found while helping The Friends of Haslam Park put a few nest boxes up.The Stonechat and Skylark images are from Rossall and the final image is of a sunset looking down the River Ribble from the Bull Nose.

FEEDING STATION FIRST.

Help needed for the first image please,is the bird a Redpoll or a Lesser Redpoll,whichever it`s a first for the feeding station which has been going for five years. Greater Spotted Woodpecker,Blue Tit,Chaffinch and Blackbird make up the images for this the first post of the New Year.

BLACKPOOL NORTH PIER.

A few sunset images from the North Pier Blackpool taken over the last few weeks while waiting for the st

arling roost.

ROSSALL BEAUTIES.

I can`t get enough of the sanderling at Rossall,such beautiful little waders in their winter plummage.On a very cold sunny winters day I managed to find one running along the tide line giving great views and opportunities to photograph.I`ve posted a few of my favourite images from an enjoyable day out.

SALMON ON THE RIBBLE.

On the higher reaches of the Ribble are the salmon spawning grounds and to reach them the salmon have to overcome various obstacles mainly waterfalls.At one of these locations I tried to capture images of the salmon as they jumped  the falls.I thought long and hard about posting these images as the fish aren`t sharp(human error on my part),but I will be back in the future to master the techniques  and capture these remarkable fish and do them the justice they deserve.

MORE FROM ROSSALL.

I visited Rossall at the recent high tide and had a wonderful day with good weather,good company and the waders coming very close.I`ve posted a few of the many images I took and hope you enjoy them as much as I did capturing them.
