Update 2020

 

It's been a funny old year so far, we have had to adapt a lot the way we work but so far things seem to be OK. Here are a few photos from during lockdown earlier this year and the later part of summer when we were able to open to the public. Excuse the order... Google blogger has been updated, and to be honest I find the whole process far more laborious now to work. It used to be so simple, what attracted me to it in the first place, but now I find it almost a chore to use. 

I try to update our British Wildlife Centre blog more frequently than here. At least once a month with a roundup if possible, and share some of my photos there. If you would like to see this it is linked to the right, or you can follow this link:

Pine Marten in the Rain

 

Something I have always wanted to photograph was pine martens in the rain. I have tried a couple of times in the past, but never been too successful. Last week for one day we had a downpour, we couldn't get too much done job wise at work, but were still here due to the visitors. Having just done the pine marten talk and seeing Dani soaking wet I thought I would give it another go!..

She was not very cooperative :-) So I headed over to my mate Drogo, and spent half hour with him in the pouring rain. He was up anyway and already drenched, he could go back to his nest boxes at anytime he wanted, but just enjoyed playing in the rain with me. 

Thirty minutes later, soaked to the bone, but it was worth it. I got some photos I was very pleased with.
