More from Wales

Here are a few shots I managed to get whilst out and about around North Wales, seams like such a long time ago now.

No trip would be the same without a shot of a Goosander on Llanberis Lake, which is my first shot of the set.

Secondly a Jackdaw which followed us around the top wall of Caernarfon castle.

The next couple of shots where taken whilst walking along the harbour at Caernarfon with the sun low in the sky, I thought it might have been a bit too dark, but was pleased with how these turned out.

All photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm

Just one more post from Wales and then back to insects, butterflies and birds.

Llanberis

A long weekend in Llanberis, North Wales was in order to get away and try and get a few photos.

Here are some I managed to get, 1st couple of shots are of a Jackdaw and the final 2 shots are a female Goosander.

Photos taken with a Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm.

I managed to take a lot of shots of Magpies and also a Crow all in flight, for some reason my camera went funny showing an error one day and managed to wipe the memory card, so I'm a bit gutted, but gives me a good excuse to go back again.

Hope you like the shots.

Welsh birds

Here are a few shots I took whilst on my travels around North Wales, the first couple of images are of a Stonechat, which was taken at South Stack on Anglesey.

I was surprised how close this little chap came to me before flying off again.

Here is the view from the top of the cliffs at South Stack.

The second set of shots are a female Goosander which swam past me with 3 young on Llanberis lake, every time the young took a dive she would stick her head in the water to watch them.
