For anyone wondering, Dande and ALP are using high end gear but you can bet your bottom dollar they will both take amazing shots with any equipment. Their gear just drives it up a notch, they are both craftsmen with a camera.

Thanks Guppy - very kind.

I’m sure there’s a film in there somewhere.
The meadow had just been cut and there were many more than those.

I'm in LA and the local Crows had their annual meeting on Wednesday.......Hundreds of them flying around in circles cawing like mad.

Walking in the Comeragh mountains today. Far too hot for this old man but we summited. I'd never done the Northern end of the Comeragh before and it was outstanding. I will be back.

I know, I just popped in boars head & fancied a walk down it was a nice weekend especially Friday & Saturday.

Early morning stroll

One from a trip to the North Yorks Moors…

Another one from the trip north…

Swallows and House Martins also, have massive fleas on them.

When I've seen films of the couple interacting, they have specialist communication between each other and they evidence clear knowledge of detail close up and can manipulate materials to a craftsman specialist level.

They can catch insects of any kind with ease and yet they don't preen each other of parasites.

It's baffling.

... And what do those fleas do when there being wizzed around in aerial battles beyond the ken of the human eye at speeds of over 100 mph at 10,000 feet.

Is it a tacit agreement, you feed us to use the same as a motorbike and sidecar racer gravity and hanging on arrangement?

Yesterday was a fantastic day on the Saltees, in County Wexford, trying to capture the ever industrious seabirds with some clinical and some artistic photograrphy, as they work hard to build and repair nests, fish to feed their young, and fight for territory. If you could bottle the energy that they have, the world would be a better place.
