Dragonflies

I'm sorting through images from earlier in the year and found some Dragonflies taken in the Summer. I usually spend quite a bit of time each year photographing Dragonflies and Damselflies but didn't seem to manage it this year, I think probably down to the poor weather in late Summer.

Wirral Coast

I spent a couple of hours on the North Wirral Coast yesterday afternoon, it was suprisingly quiet with birds, the only ones worth photographing were a female Red-breasted Merganser and a Razorbill. They were both sitting on a very choppy sea, considering that there was no wind it was quite strange.

Black-tailed Godwits

No two sessions photographing the local Black-tailed Godwits are ever the same, whether they are busy feeding or fighting and bickering with each other, their plumages also vary greatly from drab grey-brown to orange, depending on the time of year, so each visit will produce something different.

I spent an afternoon in August photographing them and here are some of the results.
