Looking forward to these guys migrating back in the next few weeks! A few Black Kites have already been spotted and it shouldn't be too long before we hear the Cuckoos too.

The second of the Owlfly (Ascalaphid) species that we have found here Libelloides longicornis. I'm a big fan of these little creatures and spend many happy hours over the Spring photographing them.

A nicely marked male Hawfinch at the big reflection pool hide. They are regular visitors in the summer particularly along with their young.

A young Green Woodpecker at one of our hides. He was so close I couldn't fit him all in the shot so opted for a nice portrait.

Hey photographers, can I interest you in a trip to Southern France? These photos show just a glimpse of what we can offer you from our French home near Cahors. We have award-winning accommodation set in thirty acres of nature filled woodland and meadows, with some of Europe's most stunning landscape close by. We have bird and mammal hides, water and meadows with thousands of species of insect and butterfly, dark skies, great trails for camera trapping, twenty species or orchid (just on our land) and amazing limestone geology and river valleys. We'd love to welcome you here! Hope you enjoy the photos!

Lots of lovely in the garden and around our land at the moment. No hide required as they are always so confident and some lovely lighting to be enjoyed too. It's a struggle to keep my feet warm as we must be getting a bit soft here in France now though!

A Great Spotted Woodpecker taking a bath at one of our reflection pool hides here in Southern France. We have seen over forty species of bird at our hides, with many species which are hard to see in the UK. With two award winning gîtes set in an oak forest, we can offer a memorable and peaceful holiday for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Its been a while since I've posted anything Red and Squirrely so to remedy the situation here's a backlit example. We're seeing lots of activity in the trees around the house at the moment and it won't be long before the breeding season chasing around begins!

Probably my favourite image of 2024 as it's a shot I didn't get during thirteen years in the Yorkshire Dales. Instead I had to move over a thousand kilometres south to see and photograph the Northen Lights! Clicky for a much bigger view. Happy New Year all!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. We have been concentrating on a whole range of projects here and our social media pages have been a little neglected as a result. Here's a photo of one of our most common little birds to get us back on track. The Marsh Tit is present all year round and they make great little subjects. The glossy cap and call identify this bird as a Marsh Tit rather than the very similar Willow Tit and, despite the name, they are much happier in deciduous woodlands rather than marshes!

Sarah has just set-up a display of local glass creations by Pam Angus in our La Grange gîte. Guests can admire her work and even make a purchase. Pam has a workshop locally which can be visited by appointment to see more examples of her stunning work. https://pamelaangus.com/

A brown hare keeping me company whilst I waited for Red Squirrels to turn up earlier this summer!
