Your Photo of the Week

Week7. A local Little Grebe. So often my nemesis, as the buggers always dive as I take the shot. NoWeek7. A local Little Grebe. So often my nemesis, as the buggers always dive as I take the shot. Not this time.

Week 9. I've been ill and so haven't been out at all, also why I've not been active here, but managed an afternoon out today. This stunningly marked Marsh Harrier was a highlight.

Hey, Kev.
I'm glad you were able to get out today. Feel better soon.

I really thought that legend status would have been a cure of all illnesses mate! Guess I was wrong...

Nothing will make you feel better than doing what you love to do. Hope what you are going through is a fast turn around. Sending my best wishes pal.

Cheers ST and Clint. Clint, you are dead right. I've been staying off of all social media because seeing everyones photos was getting me down, especially as prior to my illness we had 2 weeks of rain, so I've been stuck inside for a month. Getting out is a big thing for me, and most photographers. Thankfully Spring is here and it's a great time to get out locally.

Golden Orb Weaving Spiders. Harmless although decent size, about 2/3 of your hand. The big ones are the females, unlike humans I can understand why she wears the pants in this relationship...
