Earlier this year I was asked which three animals I would like to be able to photograph in the wild over the summer. I said at the time:-
A Dragonfly -not wildly exciting I know, but last year I just couldn't manage a photo of any.
An Adder -Because I had never seen one in the wild, let alone photographed one.
Osprey Because they fascinate me and I had followed the Cumbrian Osprey story in 2006 and wanted a chance to see them in 2007.
I was pleased to get plenty of dragonfly photo's , I learned to use my camera properly
I was lucky to get my adder photos at Haweswater in the Lake District when we saw a pair.
I did see the Ospreys from the observation platform at Dodd Wood, and had a magnificent view of the male diving into Bassenthwaite and emerging with a fish to take back to the nest. Sadly though no photo's. My zoom wasn't capable of that distance.
So my three for this coming year is:-
An Osprey (try again)
A kingfisher (never seen one)
Seals ( I saw them this summer in the sea at the South walney nature reserve and got photos but their heads looked like little black blobs in the sea)
So what animals would you like to be able to photograph in the next year. Good luck
