Autumn update.

Spent a day on the colne estuary looking to see what winter migrants have graced our waters this autumn and is looking pretty decent at present. Plenty of waders from Knot to Grey Plovers. Got some nice images of Curlew flying by. Avocets seem to be building in numbers and Siberian visitors the Brent Geese has a healthy flock grazing on the salt marsh.

I finally managed to get good shots of the Green Woodpecker. I have been trying to get improved images of this colourful bird for sometime now. I have posted a couple of shots on the flickr site.

Although I have done much fewer trips and spent less time out with the camera this year. I was suprised what I have achieved so far this year. Looking at my images I have managed: Boxing Hare, House Martins, Green woodpecker, Wader spectacular,1000s of Knot displaying, Grebe & her young, Bittern, Cuckoo, Better Kingfisher, More Barn owl and Tawny owl, Long eared owl, Heath Fritillary, Red Admiral, Marbled White, better Peacock butterflies. Also more deer images rutting and displaying not forgetting my lost wildlife such as wolf, boar, bison, bear, wolverine and lynx.
I plan to visit Norfolk, Kent again this winter to search for SE owls and more Barn owls.

I will be displaying and have available for sale some of the above this weekend at RHS Hyde Hall, Rettendon, Essex the 5th-6th Nov. Also will be at Hylands House in Chelmsford next weekend 12th-13th Nov. Hanningfield Resevoir Essex Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre 27th Nov. Back at RHS Hyde Hall 3rd & 4th Dec. Finally at Olivers Nursuries, Nr Witham, Essex on the 10th-11th Dec. Hope to see you at some of the events. Thanks
Ray
