Tech Support.

Daisy always comes with me on photo trips when ever possible. This time, after a few miles of tramping around the nature reserve she got tired and begged a lift. Sitting on the camera bag she started whispering technical advice into my ear!

Mr Jackdaw

I have seen this Jackdaw a few times calling from this perch but every time I got the camera out, he flew off. So, this time I left the camera in position and rattled off a couple of shots before he realized what I was doing!

The beach was covered with old cockle shells, this one looked like it had recently arrived. I am not sure if this is landscape or animals but it feels like landscape.
