| | | Hello from Mansfield
Hi all,
I'm John a disabled (leftarm no use after head injury) electrician, now wannabe photographer.
This year my goals are to photograph a badger (never even seen a live one), kingfisher and a native snake.
Also will be returning to the Farne Isles, Gigrin Farm and Formby.
If anyone knows of good sites for my target species I'd love to hear from them.
Also, anyone in my area wanting to share travel costs are more than welcome to contact me.
Best Regards
John |

Hello John and a warm welcome to WAB. Can't help with your goals of Kingfisher and native snake, but I wish you well in your aim to do this.

Hi John, Welcome to WAB from someone right on your doorstep.. 
I've been trying to get Kingfisher shots for ages, seen plenty; shots 0!
Attenborough Nature Reserve definitely has Kingfishers; the Delta area is often the favourite.
Good luck with all your targets, they're pretty ambitious ones, but what the heck, not much point setting out to get a blackbird or a robin, you'd be done in half an hour..  |

Hello John and welcome to WAB.
Very best of luck with your photography.
I do not know your area of the world so unfortunately can not advise on your target species.
The Farne Islands, Gigrin Farm and Formby I do know and since you mention a return visit you are already aware of how good these areas are.

Welcome to WAB John. Hope you enjoy the boards and achieve your wildlife goals.
There are fantastic photographers on the boards and they all help and give good advice. One day, when I eventually get a 'good' camera, I shall be picking their brains constantly, but I know they'll all be patient with me and that is just one of the reasons why this site is so good. Happy posting WW |
