Fishing Heron, Swallows, young Starlings, Goldfinches and Geoff!

It's been 3 weeks since my last blog post, but I've still been taking pictures here and there, so here are a few of the better ones I've managed!
   Harsh Summer sun is actually a very challenging light to photograph in! I usually lose my photographic mojo between June and July, maybe for this reason.... or maybe because the leaves and grasses have all grown and hidden a lot of the nature that I love to photograph!
    My mate Geoff has just started to get into photography, and he's learning quickly and very passionate about it! I enjoyed an afternoon at RSPB Greylake with him recently.... I already see that he has 'the eye'!
  Maybe he'll even start his own blog in the future!

Here are some photo's from the last 3 weeks;
