Wet Start Met Mark Redstart (say that quickly)

Last week started off a bit wet, so i met Mark for some more wee beasty searching, a pastime that me and my closest friends enjoy. Summer is a great time to explore with your camera the colourful world of small insects. On Thursday we both ended up in the gazebo with Danny again for a bit of tern in flight therapy, sadly i've become hopelessly addicted to this gibbering habit. Mark had to get his nut on the pillow in the afternoon to be fresh for work that night, so eight straight days of graft for him now.
On Thursday Chris returned from his Spanish foray, and we decided to go for the Redstarts in the New Forest on Friday. We had a really productive morning there, and we both filled our boots with loads of shots of the male, female, and two young ones.
On Saturday, i had a quiet day at Lodmoor meeting lots of contacts from Flickr, and other togging friends at the gazebo. Sometimes its nice to just go out with no pressure to take shots of anything at all, and just enjoy a bit of banter with like-minded people.

  1. Excellent set here Frank and glad to see you're back on the good stuff after all of those 'creepy crawlies'. Nice to meet up with you and Dennis on Saturday, despite trying to blend in with that new camo gear. Thanks for the Eggy link, look forward to seeing what next Winter's evenings bring.
