#LoveVultures

The photographic highlights from a fantastic day at the Hawk Conservancy Trust - watching their dedicated team fly some of the collection birds and learning about the plight of the vulture and the Trust's ongoing work to highlight and promote their conservation.

N.B. some of theses birds were photographed through the fencing of their enclosures. I've also sneaked a single wild bird into the album.

A Field in England

I dropped into Lord's Piece to catch up with the resident population of field cricket (Gryllus campestris).

Immediately upon leaving the car, I could hear the not so distant singing of several males, and it took me less than a 100m walk into the heathland before being able to record - close in - a single songster, from the safety of a well worn pathway.
