Unfortunately posting to the blog has had to take a back seat over the past few weeks for a variety of reasons. Aside from the trip to France and the need to catch up when we got back, there have also been family issues to deal with and putting the final touches to the 2015 safari.
Happily we now seem to be turning the corner and I managed a trip down to Lorton Meadows one evening last week. Even so, it was a far cry from last Summer when it seemed we were down there most evenings in search of that elusive barn owl shot. It was quiet again when I got there, but I soon spotted this young Kestrel perched on a power line and managed to track him for around 30 minutes or so before he got fed up with me and flew away.
Since then we have managed a macro shoot at Higher Hyde Heath, despite Parcelforce's best efforts to scupper it. The order I placed with WEX last Thursday on next day delivery has still not arrived and rather than 24 hrs, by the next delivery tomorrow it will have been 120 hrs. Currently the tracking still shows it in London, where it has been since the early hours on Saturday! All credit to WEX though as they had refunded my postage by teatime Friday.
Don't forget full details are now available for the Big 5 safari which promises to be a great opportunity to capture images at close quarters to a big variety of African animals and birds.
