Update

Just a note on what I have been upto the past couple of weeks. Its been waders and Avocets golore. The local Avocets had been courting, breeding nesting and sitting on eggs up until last week. I paid a visit last week one evening expecting and hoping to see some chicks. But it looks as if the nest may have been predated!! The nest looked ramsacked and no eggs, chicks nor were the adults around. Possible fox may be??
Been watching some local Barn Owls looking best how to photograph these whilst hunting. I think they are sitting on eggs at present. So will keep well clear of the nest site and see if I can photograph them hunting.
Its time to get the macro lens out. Have been capturing ladybirds for a client. Also managed to photograph Damselfly merging from nymph to fully developed damselfly. Watched this from seeing the nymph climb out of the water on to a reed, it took about 2.5hrs for it to transform.
Last but not least, have just returned from Worcester after spending 11hrs in a hide on a tranquil river bank photographing Kingfishers. Captured some great images of mainly a male fishing for himself and I guess its mate that may have been preparing to nest about 3/4 mile further upstream.(NOTE:License required for photographing k/fisher at or near nest, owner of land/hide checked for license with English Nature and as we photographed a long distance from nest and no threat to disturbance I needed no license)I will post some images this week on the flickr site.
Thanks, Ray
