Terns on the Grand Western Canal
On yesterday’s canal photo walk, I snapped like crazy as several terns flew around us attempting to wrestle some bread from the ducks. Most of the shots were blurred, but there were a few good ones in...

Buzzard on Canal Hill
One of the things that really surprised me about coming to Devon was how common buzzards are here. I’d only seen one once or twice in Nottinghamshire, but here there are plenty. Yet somehow, I’ve not...

Buzzard by the Road
We popped over to a farm shop in Halberton to get a bit of fruit and veg today. On the way there, I spotted a buzzard on a fence-post near the side of the road, but too late to stop. On the way back,...

Snowy Egret in Tiverton
I was sitting at my desk at work, when I looked out of the window, and high up in the oak tree outside was a white bird. A big white bird. I had no idea what it was. It looked like a heron, but herons...

Cormorant Rock
Cormorants on a rock, in the distance. Not a great shot, but not my usual style either. Caught a nice moment, though, as the third one joined the others after a fishing trip. Not sure where we were –...

Sparrows
Sparrows in the hedge by the side of the Grand Western Canal. All snapped with the Sony 55-210 zoom lens. I’d love a lens that could go a bit wider, but the nice thing about this one is that it fits...

Swan
One of the first old lenses I bought when I got started on the idea of attaching vintage screw-mount lenses to my Sony NEX-6 was a Chinon 135mm f/2.8. It was months before I got around to attaching it...

Pigeons at Exeter Quay
I tried to take a photo of a pigeon, perched on the edge of this building. The pigeon had other plans, but I caught it leaving. These two looked a bit threatening. East end gangster pigeons.

One Good Tern
I’m reliably informed that this isn’t a tern. Shame. I thought it was my tern.

Living Coasts
We had a trip to Torquay, to see the Hairy Bikers show at the Princess Theatre. We took the chance to stay overnight, and have a day in Torquay, including a visit to Living Coasts. We hadn’t heard the...

Pigeon
I got quite a lot of really good shots of pigeons by the River Exe in Tiverton. And none of them turned out very well, because I’d left the camera on ISO 1600 from taking a couple of pics indoors...

Photowalk Tiverton
Fore Street in Tiverton, reflected in a shop window: We had a bit of a wander around Tiverton, from home, to the canal, then down into town. Then back up Canal Hill, which is big and steep. By time we...

Gull
Taken with my old Asahi Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens – manually focussed, which was a bit of a challenge with limited depth of field and a gull who won’t keep still. A few shots came out ok, though.

A gull’s head. Looking very closely, I can just about make out my own reflection in its eye. Processed in onOne’s Perfect B&W to bring out the detail in the feathers and brighten the eye. Added...

The snowy egret finally returned to the tree at work. This time, I had a bit more zoom with me.
