autumn photo of squirrel feeding, against backdrop of autumnal colours

Taken at the Farne Islands in May 2008. This marvellous place is a must if you want to get close to seabirds! The shag is superficially like the cormorant but is smaller and slimmer and has a lovely purple and green sheen to the feathers.

This Red deer took exception to me sitting on a trunk in his patch and came over to let me know I wasn't welcome - from about 6 feet away! Have to say i was a little nervous, but there was nowhere I could go without stepping out into the open so I just sat my ground. Luckily having voiced his opinion...

Taken at Maple lodge reserve, near Rickmansworth, Herts. This was taken from the hide in the entrance building. The jay landed in the trees some way off to check out the feeding station, but decided not to come closer.

This was taken on the beach just past Sizewell, on a stroll from Minsmere RSPB reserve. These are normally seen later in winter in large flocks in southern England, but are usually hard to approach. In summer they adopt their spectacular breeding plumage and head North to breed.

Taken at Bempton Cliffs, RSPB Reserve in May 2008.
