Rosemary Beetles

A pest from the Continent that eats rosemary flowers.  These images are all focus-stacked.  The camera takes eight frames, changing the focus point each time, and stitches the frames together to produce a picture with greater depth-of-field than a single image.  

Last Hobby of the Year

We took Meredith to Lackford today for some Children's Activities.  Then she came to the hide, where she was quiet and well-behaved, but too late for the Kingfishers, which flashed through.
We saw the last Hobby chasing birds as there were no dragonflies to be seen.  Bug did see a Nuthatch in the wood.

Snetterton - 46th Year

Offloading Morgans after an oil spill, the Ashton brothers Jack (98) and William (97) neck and neck lap after lap in their MG Metros, and early evening light down the Senna Straight as the hottest Spridgets went for it.  I first went to Snetterton in 1972.  The journey is now much easier and the circuit (and loos) incomparably more salubrious.  Thanks for driving me, Peter.

Paxton Pits

Some luck today with Ann's help on the Kingfisher and spotting the Cormorant with the pike being mobbed as it took a long time to get the fish head first down the gullet.

Shapes and Colours

The d.H. 88 Comet Racer, the Miles Magister and the Spitfire PRX1.

Shuttleworth Sunday

Some images from the paddock before the air show.

Paxton Predators

From the Wasp Spider to the Grasshopper, Blue Damselfly and Ruddy Darter, they were as much as we could find in the fields.
