Thursday, 1st February 2024 - RSPB Nene Washes

An unexpected invite to go to RSPB Nene Washes quickly made me put doing laundry on hold and I got my camera gear ready instead.  It was a sunny winter's day and it didn't seem polite to stay indoors, 

This first image is a multi-shot panorama to show the general area - a bit flat init!  🙂



And here is some of the wildlife we saw ...


Kestrel




Cormorant




Stonechat (?)




Tawny Owl (?)




I think you'll know this one  🙂



Red Kite


Thank you J & J for an unexpected and very enjoyable day.

Friday, 8th March 2024 - HATFIELD WATER MILL

Today, the U3A Photography Group visited the Water Mill at Hatfield. Unfortunately any catering facilities they may have were not open today so we met in the nearby Tesco cafe for the almost essential coffee before going to the mill, ready for some photography.    The inside of the mill was lit by sodium lamps. They might be good for the eye but not for colour photography.  To avoid those problems, I processed these images in black & white and then added a sepia tint which I thought suited the subject. And finally, my personal favourite of the day ... Thanks for checking my blog   🙂 Den

Sunday , 4th February 2024 - Farewell Band Gang, Hello Band Crew

Image
Well, we went to the Anchor for lunch today as the Band Gang, had a very enjoyable meal, and then departed renamed as the Band Crew. Apparently the original name could somehow get confused with another "activity".  It's beyond me but if someone could explain it to me I'd be most grateful  😜 _____________________
