2019 - My Wildlife year in Photographs


2019, has been a very eclectic year; from the tiny insects in my garden, here in the Dordogne, to Red Kites in Wales, Ospreys in Scotland and back to giant rodents in my local rivers. I have been privileged to be able to witness and record some of natures wonders.

Below, are a small selection of my personal favourite wildlife and natural history shots, taken this year whilst on my travels. 

I hope that you enjoy seeing them, as much as I did photographing them!

all images taken with my Nikon D500 and a selection of Nikon lenses.

    An amazing selection of photos, impossible to select a favourite they are all so good. I have to say though I do love the macro shots. (Sigh) maybe one day I will get the right lens, meanwhile I have to sort out the problem with my telephoto lens!

    All the best to you both for 2020. Diane

A Kestrel family.......bringing new life (and death) to my local area!

Image
  Kestrels are apex predators! A hovering hunter that strikes from above. The kestrel is a common sight along woodland edges, using its razor-sharp vision to catch unsuspecting prey. The kestrel is a vole specialist, with the field vole accounting for the majority of its diet. It will also take mice and shrews, as well as small birds and occasionally worms and insects. Birds are taken more often in places where voles are scarce, such as in urban areas. Several hunting techniques are used by kestrels, but the most well-known is the hover. A kestrel will fly into the wind and use its tail and wings to hold its position in the air. Keeping its eyes fixed on the ground, it will swiftly drop to pounce on any prey sighted.   With extremely sharp eyesight, kestrels can spot a beetle from 50 metres away. They can even see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye. This means they can detect the urine trails left by rodents on the ground, helping the birds locate their pre...

Great Spotted Woodpecker Family.......bringing new life to the woods

Image
  Dad of the Year 2025.......this incredible father (on the right) is looking thin and absolutely drained after single handedly, bringing up 5 chicks! The Great Spotted Woodpecker is one of our most striking woodland birds, instantly recognisable by its distinctive black and white plumage and powerful drumming sounds that echo through forests.  These remarkable birds have successfully adapted to various habitats, from ancient woodlands to urban parks, making them a familiar sight to many.  What makes these woodpeckers particularly fascinating is their incredible physical adaptations. They can 'peck' at trees at speeds of up to 16 times per second without getting concussions, thanks to special shock absorbing tissue in their skulls.  Great Spotted Woodpeckers inhabit various wooded environments, from deciduous and mixed woodlands to urban parks and gardens. They show a particular preference for mature woodlands with plenty of dead or dying trees, which provide both fo...

My Triumph TR3a

Image
The story of my award winning 1959 TRIUMPH TR3a This car was manufactured on the 29th October 1959, at the Triumph factory in Coventry, UK.  On the 9th November 1959, the car was dispatched from the factory and shipped to their distributor (Jones Bischoff) in Saint Louis, USA. Sadly, the early history (owner details) is unavailable, due to privacy laws, which means that the records held by the US authorities cannot be shared with 3rd parties. However, they were able to confirm that the car was first registered in the state of Missouri. The next information, comes in the late 80's when it was found in a sorry state by Raymond Van Donk, in a barn in Holland. The mileage at that time, was showing a total of 75239 miles.  Whilst that mileage was believed to have been genuine, the figure was irrelevant, as the car clearly required a total restoration. On the 25th August 1991, Raymond commenced work and would spend the next...
