Former hill & moorland walker. After major lower leg reconstruction, now an amateur wildlife and landscape photographer.
Locked in a concrete jungle, very concerned for the countryside.
A Cold War bomber, a Vulcan B2 training session inspecting the bombs in a bomb bay.
A recent photo shoot reenactment.
Props Wellesbourne Vulcan plus actors...

Not quite birds and rocks, how about juv gulls & stone.... These gulls were picking stones from the water and being play chased by others.

Almost like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds l as they flew overhead.
Or for the younger readers, the Dementors in Harry Potter x

An interesting male goosander.
Check the bulge at the front of the throat.
My guess, something eaten he can't swallow. He does keep trying to dislodge something.

Also using a long lens on a camera, early October, (800mm and heavily cropped), a satisfied seal pup snoozing after suckling.

A crow mobs a red kite. The red kite was one of a pair seen flying together a few times that sunny morning.
Taken early November 2025
