| | Welcome to our newest member, edward v | | |
Welcome to the Wild About Britain forums | | | | I already have my own blog (accessible from my web site) which describes the walks that I go on - I generally walk 12-15 miles, two or three times a week, all over Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and the southern part of Oxfordshire. Here on my WAB blog I will just comment on the wildlife that I see on my walks. I love being out in the countryside and enjoy seeing all types of wildlife, but I am especially interested in birds and wildflowers.  |  Muntjac Deer, near Bradenham, Bucks.
Today I did a 13-mile circular walk around the Saunderton Valley - this is a broad gap in the northern escarpment of the Chiltern Hills, immediately south of Princes Risborough. I started at the village of Bledlow Ridge, on top of the hills west of the valley, and followed a footpath that headed north, gradually descending into the valley. I then joined part... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | Comments 0
 | |  Siskin
I spent about an hour and a half photographing birds in the garden again this morning. Undoubted star of the show was this siskin, the first I've ever seen in my parents' garden I think (my parents say they sees Siskins occasionally every winter). Otherwise it was just the 'usual suspects' - Blue Tits, Great Tits and Chaffinches. A Dunnock landed briefly near me, before realising I was... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | Spent some more time trying to photograph birds in the back garden again today. I'm still trying out new things with my new camera, rather than always relying on the 'automatic' mode. As it was such a bright day (glorious blue skies and warm for the time of year), I set on 'Shutter Priority' mode and set it to a high shutter speed, with the idea of getting sharper images but with less depth of field.  ... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | | Another 12 mile walk today. A glorious day, blue skies and quite warm, more like Spring than early February! I started at Chalfont St Giles and followed the Misbourne valley northwest to Old Amersham, then came back south to the villages of Seer Green and Jordans, before returning to Chalfont St Giles.
Saw another wildflower, some Greater Periwinkle (identified for me on WAB by aeshna5!) just outside Chalfont St Giles. A bit further on I saw a Red Kite, and as I approached Old Amersham... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
| | For various reasons (mainly bad weather and a heavy cold) today's was my first long walk for three weeks. I started at Chenies, just east of Chesham, and followed the Chess Valley to Latimer - en route I saw a Little Egret beside the river Chess.  Little Egret, on river Chess near Chenies
I then headed south to Little Chalfont. As I walked round the edge of a golf course, heading... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 2
