Lack of photographic opportunity, poor weather and absent Summer photo mojo have all combined to cause this. However, as always, there have been a handful of times when I have managed to take some pictures. One was yesterday evening during a break in the rain, when I walked around my Somerset village and photographed some of the Rabbits in the surrounding farmland, plus a couple of young Whitethroats skulking in a hedge. I also couldn't resist photographing some inquisitive Cows and their calves, as they posed so nicely and it would've been rude not to!
A few days earlier I took my camera around my Aunts one evening and tried to photograph the Housemartins flying about above her garden, with varying results!
Once again the Badger visited my Somerset garden, and is getting braver, coming closer to where I stand on the patio! My flashing and clicking camera doesn't bother it in the slightest, but it's so dark it's hard to focus on the creature!
I also photographed some young Blue Tits and Great Tits at RSPB Greylake, a few different butterflies, namely Red Admirals, Whites and Gatekeepers, plus a romantic pair of Woodpigeons in Bridgwater!
