Martin Mere.

This is my first effort at Martin Mere Lancashire and after being incarsarated on a set of seven night shifts, how great it was to get out in the fresh air once more, not very lucky with the weather this time (no sunshine), but at least the rain stayed at bay until we were on our way home, came away with my first Collins Bird Guide, so a little bit of home work is now on the cards.

Worcestershire.

Today found me at a small lake in Grimley Worcestershire photographing a Slavonian Grebe and for my second attempt how lucky was i to find it still their . It started very sunny but soon clouded over , but i still managed a couple of hours with four fellow photographers and the bird leading us a merry dance up and down the lake . Everytime it dived we all moved in unison to were we thaught it would surface , it was all great fun and iam sure the bird new what it was doing to , everyone came away happy .
