. .Sandwich Tern -taking his catch of a sea eel to his family in the reserve.
Hello everyone,my name is Christine.I was brought up in this small village as a young child,and returned several years ago bringing with me, my husband Barry.Our interests used to be motorcyling,Barry still enjoys his biking ,but due to mobility probs,I had to find a more sedate hobby,which brings me to this website.I love wildlife,and took up birdwatching,but then wanted to see on a photograph,and enlarged on a pc screen,the same image that I was viewing through binoculars/scope.Hence I started my bird photography via digiscoping ie attaching a camera to the eyepiece of the scope,whereby one can produce a greatly magnified image.Considerable skill is needed for this process,my attempts were at times somewhat dodgy,so changed to a digital slr camera,using a 400F5.6 lens.I hope to be able to show some shots of the considerable wildlife of this area. May ,I add here,that this site is still under construction,and will take some time,but if you do pop in for a look around,please keep returning.It will grow as the weeks progress.
Lastly ,a big thankyou to Bob(Steele),who has set up this site for me,and will hopefully monitor my progress(or lack of!!!).Thankyou Bob.

Company history I would also like to mention another site ,from whence I have been given lots of help and advice re photography and birds.I do have an extensive Gallery on this site which anyone can view as a guest.
