Wilde About Wildlife.

I think its a good idea we all take a look at this young man setting out in the world to pursue his dreams in order to turn them into reality. From what I know about Findlay Wilde since he recently came on the blogging scene to announce his presence via his trips into the great outdoors, he is well on his way to becoming an ornithologist.

We need young people like this fella who will grow in the knowledge that wildlife above all else needs to be protected in a world that largely doesn't really know - and in lots of cases doesn't want to know - or care about it enough to value how much it matters that it exists and needs to exist in order that we humans can too.

Congratulations on this article Findlay, please be assured I - and many others I'm sure - am right behind you on your chosen interest, also be assured that the birds will become an addiction to you as they have with me, my passion for them grows by the day, if you think I can help in any way please get in touch. Meanwhile, I'd like to think you'll be paying a visit to my neck of the woods sometime soon, in which case I do hope we can meet, I think it would be a pleasure for us both. But please note....my knowledge about the birds is relatively little and I have more to learn about them than I will be able to learn in my lifetime, its worth remembering, you can learn something new about this subject on a daily basis....I do.

Please read for yourself about Findlay Wilde in the Cheshire Life Magazine. 

We'd better end with a couple of pics I reckon. And look....No Waxwings!

Kestrel David Cookson

But two 'pics with a difference'....like this one of the Kestrel which I'd hazard a guess has pounced onto something from a height judging by its pose in the long grass, on the other hand it may have pounced and missed the target, either way this bird isn't where it is for the fun of it. Thanks David, your usual high standard of photography on display here again.

Wigeon Martin Jump  

And this brilliant one of the Wigeon showing its reflection in the perfectly still clear water, a beautiful drake, and a beautiful image. Thanks Martin, sorry to repeat myself but....another image showing your usual high standard of photography.
