Wildlife photography in focus

by martin on Jun.22, 2010, under Birdwatching, Druridge Bay, Northumberland, Photography, Southeast Northumberland

After a busy week I was looking forward to a couple of days catching up on admin and housework (no, really, I was looking forward to doing some housework…). Then, on Saturday morning, the ‘phone rang and we took a booking for Sunday; a photographer visting the area was frustrated by the weather leading to sailing cancellations (Farne Islands, Isle of May, Coquet Island) so could we take him out and show him some of the better locations for wildlife and birdwatching photography in southeast Northumberland and Druridge Bay?

We pride ourselves on being flexible so a meeting point was arranged, camera kit was cleaned, memory cards loaded, batteries charged. Some excellent views of Red Squirrel, so close that only head shots were possible, were followed by a few hours in the birdwatching mecca that is Druridge Bay.

Here are a few of my favourite images from Sunday and Monday.
