I often extol the virtues of being able to photograph wildlife subjects at eye level. There are a couple of ways to achieve this, and the most obvious question that comes up is what to do about cases where you are in reserves or national parks that restrict you to being in a vehicle at […]
Squacco Heron, Rallhäger
Denna långstannare har strax varit här i 1 vecka så jag passade på att besöka den för andra gången och ta några bilder till.

Waterbuck Wink
I was trawling through my archives tonight, making space for new files by deleting files that are now 2+ years old that I haven’t touched yet, when I came across this photo.
