Birds again!
Last night we had a talk at Oldham PS, from David Wilkinson of Bury PS . I was admiring a photograph of a wren that he showed and wished I could see one in the garden…then, would you believe it…this lunchtime, what should appear on my bird perch….a little wren!…didn’t stay more than a few seconds but I managed to get a few quick shots from the living room window as I had already set the camera up on the tripod.

Garden Birds
Having set up our bird feeder a bit late in the season, I’m delighted to say that we have seen quite a few different varieties of small birds.

In fact, I was just packing up when the bullfinch arrived and I snapped a couple of pictures of him.

Equestrian Event Photography
Somerford Park I would like to dedicate this page to the memory of 24 year old New Zealand Rider Tom Gadsby, who suffered fatal injuries at Fence 4B on 18th August 2013, when he was involved in a rotational accident; his horse, seven-year-old skewbald gelding, The Drove, fell on top of him, crushing Tom to death. The Drove was uninjured. There are no photographs of Tom Gadsby in my selection.
