Introduction
|
|
Much of my birding (and bird
photography) is done in my home county of
Oxfordshire. After birding in this county for many
years, I first acquired a digital camera in 2003
for digiscoping. In 2006, in search of higher
quality results, I upgraded to a DSLR
& 400mm lens, with some further upgrades
more recently.
I also venture further afield from
time to time, including both elsewhere in the UK
and overseas. Holidays can provide good
opportunities, and I often try to make the most of
various business trips if at all promising in
terms of locality and time of year.
In the summer months, when bird
activity wanes, dragonfly
and damselfly photography is also a strong
interest.

Trip
Reports

An extremely bird-filled trip to Brazil in April
2004 prompted me to write a trip report, with some
of my pics taken, including a reasonable one of an
exotic Pompadour Cotinga.
