Astronomy pics

Spent yesterday afternoon revisiting an old friend Comet Hale-Bopp, ive lots of happy memories of nights out in the Lincolnshire countryside finding good dark locations to attempt to photograph this spectacular visitor to our solar system,the one ive posted was taken in Bourne Woods. I will be adding more photos of the comet and some other astronomy pics to my website www.tonybates-outside-in.co.uk shortly.

Poppy pics

Out bright and early today with Indie before the heat of the day set in walked along the side of the river Glen whose banks were thick with poppies in places which are also known as thundercups !
Indie who has his own section on my web site had a great time in the cool morning air while i took a few pics.

Devil Screacher

Last night spent a wonderfull couple of hours watching one of my favourite birds The Swift as they chased and screamed, all to soon these birds will be heading south again, so im hoping to get some pics to add to my web site and to put into one of my slide shows that feature these birds that are steeped in folklore and superstition.

Barn owl hovering

A recent evening visit to a local meadow near Bourne Lincolnshire resulted in great views of a hunting Barn owl.
