http://carlbovisnaturephotography.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Sunday, 26 April 2015. Hudsonian Godwit in Somerset! They don't come much rarer! So Saturday started just like so many before. Up early and off to work. I need the overtime, new cameras don't pay for themselves! Also 3 young children, a Flat Coated Retriever, Somersets oldest cat (probably! A Chameleon and 2 Ball Pythons don't pay for themselves either! We walked over the road and made our way to the scrape where ...

Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Saturday, 31 May 2014. Brilliant birds at Shapwick Heath and RSPB Ham Wall. Yesterday I spent a wonderful 4 hours at the neighbouring nature reserves Shapwick Heath and RSPB Ham Wall. It was a very overcast day and the light was terrible for photography, but it didn't stop me snapping away anyway! I mostly got only record shots thanks to the low light, but the birds were stellar! We walked over the foot bridge to ...

Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Sunday, 14 April 2013. A week in Woolacombe! A couple of months ago I booked a week in Woolacombe, Devon with my family for an Easter break. I was expecting lovely weather to be honest, but it turned out that Winter didn't want to hand over the British environment to Spring just yet and the resulting weather was wet, cold and windy! Being a lover of wildlife photography, this wasn't great news! I still had a nice ...

Carl Bovis Nature Photography: March 2014
http://carlbovisnaturephotography.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Saturday, 22 March 2014. RSPB Greylake. Reed Buntings and Chaffinches galore! After nearly a year I finally managed to replace my damaged 70-300mm Nikkor lens! I had been using a very cheap version that I bought in 2006, and to be quite frank, the quality of the pictures left a lot to be desired! Feels great having a decent lens again! Here are some of the pictures I managed today;. Above - Reed Buntings. Victoria...

In The Garden: Little (not quite native) Orchid
http://jennigarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/little-native-orchid.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Little (not quite native) Orchid. This little orchid, Helleborine orchid, that I thought was native , is actually an introduction from Europe. It likes to grow in the shadier areas of our lawn and garden, or pop up in a flower bed. It is a perennial and in some parts of the US is considered invasive, but it certainly is not aggressive where we are in Ontario. It's an easy plant to miss because this is what it looks like from above - not very exciting with dull brownish flowers.

Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Little Owl, young Roe Deer and my fave July nature pics! So it's been a while since my last blog post. I always lose my photographic mojo during the Summer months, maybe it's because the light is often too harsh, or because the trees and bushes are so green and the undergrowth is so lush that a lot of the nature is hidden from view, but it's my least favourite Season to take photos. Earlier...

Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Peregrine, Water Rail and Stonechat. and a Greylake sunset! Yet again, the Sun shone down on me on my day off, so after lunch I grabbed my camera and made my way to RSPB Greylake, one of my favourite places and so close to home! I grabbed a couple of shots before it dashed back into the undergrowth! A pair of Stonechats were flitting about the Bullrush heads in the middle of the lake, an...

Carl Bovis Nature Photography: Butterflies, Bees and a few birds.....that's August!
http://carlbovisnaturephotography.blogspot.com/2015/08/butterflies-bees-and-few-birdsthats.html
Carl Bovis Nature Photography. Nature and bird photography from in and around Somerset, UK. Monday, 17 August 2015. Butterflies, Bees and a few birds.that's August! As birds are harder to find and photograph in Summer, I notice more nature photographers concentrate on the more visible bugs and assorted mini-beasties! Photographing small creatures with a mega zoom lens is quite a challenge, but one I relish! A Kingfisher also landed on the 'Kingfisher perch' in the middle of one of the lakes, the first ti...
