Sika Deer at Arne, September 2009.

The Sika Deer at Arne RSPB and near by Middlebere are very tame and easy to photograph, especially if your main focus usually are Raptors!

Gulls, Fisherman's Bank, Christchurch Harbour August 2009

Had a few hours free, in between work, so thought I would get some practice in, to make use of the nice weather/ good light. My Auto focus has been not performing well on flying birds, so was trying my manual focus skills as I am going to an internationally important Raptor Migration spot next month and I want to be ready for all opportunities!
