Proper heart in the mouth stuff from The Red Arrows who always pull in the crowds.

The Red Arrows, being as patriotic as it is possible to get and showing off their incredible skills above Swanage Bay.

Swanage Bay must be just about the purfect place to watch The Red Arrows. The natural amphitheatre gives incredible views and today we had beautiful blue skies for most of the display.
The Red Arrows are big stars of The Swanage Carnival and the crowds this year are estimated, by the Police, to be 80,000.

Huge thanks to the lovely Faith Eckersall for writing a double page spread about Purbeck Footprints for todays Bournemouth Echo saturday magazine.

An Honest Mistake!

This is my first Cuckoo sighting and as such I think I can be forgiven for thinking this was a Sparrowhawk!
Now hang on, wait a minute, I couldn't get close and it is a lot more streamlined when it flies than I would have thought! And it flew close to the ground....
Anyway, now I am home and checking the pictures I realise that playing a Sparrowhawk call was not the brightest thing to do!

A Single Dartford

Just the one Dartford Warbler to be seen (is this a female, a youngster or have I got it wrong?) but they are another bird that I enjoy taking photographs of.

Light, Shade, Light, Shade, Light Shade

I am having a great deal of fun watching the Barn Owls, they are incredible birds.
Plenty of photographs, but I am struggling with the changes of light, this means I will have to keep going back.....shame!
