London


My favourite city in the world is London where there is enough of intrest to fill several lifetimes, i never get tired of visiting and have many places there that are very close to my heart this is just one looking down towards Ludgate circus with the iconic shape of St Pauls rising into the dusk sky. Inside St Pauls cathedral is Holman Hunts painting called 'The Light Of the World' one of my favourite paintings,i recently sat admiring it for an hour lost in its exquisite beauty so if you ever get to visit St Pauls find a few minuets to see this wonderful piece of British art.

Waxwings


Exciting news we are expecting an influx of WAxwings to arrive in Britain for the winter,some of these beautiful birds visit most years and can be fairly elusive but this year hopefully many thousands will make the journey down from scandinavia and provide much excitement and happiness to many birders and members of the general public alike. Its been three years since my last sighting which was at dusk just near to where i live in Bourne but alas they moved on the next morning before i could photograph them. This picture was taken in Stamford a few years ago the birds were very obliging for a couple of weeks. Keep on checking berry bushes as they can turn up almost anywhere and there have already been a few sightings of birds flying over the Bourne area.
