  1. I have taken a few photographs over the years some not to bad, some just record shots until i can manage better ones but today i have taken a photograph of a male Kestrel perched among the heather on a Sea cliff that i will probably never better in my life. hope you are all as happy with it as i am. So chuffed
  2. Nice one Andy. look forward to more pictures and footage mate
  3. Is that a young Smokie wearing the glasses in the picture ?
  4. Where i stay in Pembrokeshire must be the least populated area for Red Kites in the whole of the County, 10 miles away in the Preseli Hills there are plenty so this week i,ve been lucky enough to see two actually fly over the cottage where i,m staying. First time no camera, today misty, gloomy morning but i managed a silhouette of one getting mobbed by one of the local Crows, so its hopefully the start of the Red Kite invasion of this part of the county
  5. Green Shield Bug - juvenile PS. I knew it was a Shield Bug but not which one and certainly did not know it was a juvenile
  6. Thanks for posting as always One auction record possibly three this week Chris Clarke for the Motown fans Wil Collins another great record but auction tune, not sure Tony Galla is a awesome tune and deserves auction status the rest are a joke as auction records but we all know its the calm before next weeks storm
  7. Buzzard . Taken from about 300 metres away and the 2nd picture was as i tried to get a bit closer it just took off , they are so skittish. Both pictures are heavily cropped
  8. These are the Badgers i was photographing last night when i was lucky enough to see the Fox The first Badger is so distinctive with the white stripe across its shoulders and it must be either a Cub from this year or its a new member of the Clan as in all the years ive been watching and photographing these two setts here on the farm i have never seen this particular one until now
  9. Welcome to our little picture gallery, we are all amateurs as far as i know and there,s no rules on what you can post apart from the site rules, look forward to seeing more Ste
  10. Just had a very special and extremely rare encounter with a countryside fox , they are so different than the urban foxes that you see in every town and city across the country and are one of the most difficult animals to photograph . I was actually photographing Badgers when it suddenly appeared and this was the only picture i managed before it disappeared just as quickly
  11. Will be attending this despite a near 300 miles travelling that day, travelling home to Manchester from Pembrokeshire then back down to Stafford via Stoke on Trent, i,m sure a fitting tribute to Shute will be on the cards Ste
  12. Just been informed that Shute has passed away . Sad day. He was a top man and will be sorely missed. Thoughts are with his family and close friends Rest in soulful peace and sleep well Ste
  13. Rock Pipit - Pembrokeshire
  14. Thanks Mick. Smokie. Your a legend mate and we are with you all the way . Ste Smith
  15. Pied Wagtail- Pembrokeshire
  16. Martyn. You need to use a woody good detergent then polish with a feather duster mate
  17. See size to weight guide used for catch and release so as not to cause any more distress to the fish. Your fish would be a uk best according to the overall length of 5ft 4in = 64 " As far as I'm aware the current British record is still the 46 lb fish caught from a Welsh reservoir but I could be mistaken as I thought one of 53 lb had been caught fairly recently but that would still be 13" smaller than the fish in the picture
  18. Thought it would mate , that's why I mentioned it after another thread when you mentioned about getting your mojo back.
  19. Hugh. She can't reach mate. Did you see Culcheth for the end of October ? Be just like the old Lowton.
  20. A blinking male Woodpecker sticking its tongue out and on its regular pecking post. Both taken through the cottage window ( need,s cleaning ) this morning
  21. So been looking forward to this night, been on the grapevine for a while now and finally confirmed . Ste
  22. Thanks Andy. Weather forecast is quite good from Tuesday onwards so hope to get across to Caldy island and the Red Squirrels. The long staying Osprey has left for Africa so wont be as fortunate / lucky as last year .
  23. Little Grebe with creature from the deep
  24. First day back down in Pembrokeshire and just mooching with the camera trying to capture some sunset colour in the last few clouds in the sky and as i pressed the shutter button a Swallow flew across the viewfinder, bit blurred but not sure how many more i will see this year
  25. Ed. A truly rare record is probably one of the reasons mate.
