Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photograph Group

Today I attended a field meeting with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photographic Group, I didn't have a lot of success but I put that down to too much chatting. Here are a couple of shots of a Kestrel and shot of some of the group,also spot the Ring Necked Duck

I have been slacking lately with my photography, stuck to the armchair and glued to the television and above all, work. However after a field trip with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust camera club I am re-invigorated. First off, we went to Swanpool at Falmouth without much success, then the group split, and a few of us visited Stithians Reservoir. The following images were all captured at Stithians.

Cornwall Wild Life Trust Photographic Group Field Trip

Yesterday I attended a field trip with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photographic group, the meet was held on SSSI ( Site of Special Scientific Interest) land around Goldolphin Manor. Highlight of the day for me was studying and trying to photograph a Sand Digger Wasp nest. These intriguing insects do not sting and are quite nervous, to watch them carry their prey back to the nest was fascinating. Flies and caterpillars amongst others were on the menu.
