// - Gateway Butterfly
I'm always very pleased when I come away from a 'non-photography day' with a decent photo or two. Yesterday saw me "hunting bears" in the woods with my two-year-old godson (with me fill the roles of both hunter and bear). On our return, we found a patch of bracken which was alive with butterflies - including a couple I've never seen before.
The gateway butterflies rarely settled, and startled easily - but after a bit of patient stalking we managed to get a few shots.
24/07/2010 - The one that got away
Well, I had a great few days up in Northumberland, and saw lots of interesting things - including my first ever Sandwich Terns. However, although the forecast rain mostly held off the light was seldom good enough for photography. (more...)
18/07/2010 - Old photos, new hope...

08/07/2010 - Black is the new black...
Today I felt inspired to give the Quantum Tiger blog a bit of a face-lift. Just a few tweaks to the layout and colours (or shades of black). And to celebrate that here is an image of a suitably black bird too - taking full advantage of the newly increased width!CormorantThis was taken a few weeks back. (more...)

19/06/2010 - Wetlands and woodpeckers
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at the Wildfowl and Wetlands trust centre at Arundel in West Sussex. It was a highly relaxing day, with a lot of action from the hides. (more...)
06/06/2010 - Stonechats at St Aldhelm's
Stonechats are wonderfully curious birds. They seem to like to know what is going on. Other birds often sing from inside a bush, and are hard to spot. In contrast Stonechats will find the highest point and sing from there. (more...)
