British Bird Photographs

Hi...my name is Ian Rose, I live in West Essex and I am using this site to share some of my bird photographs. There are quite a lot of them now, although some are "record shots" more than anything else but hopefully these will be replaced with better ones as time progresses.

A lot of the photos are taken at Fishers Green and Hooks Marsh, Essex in the Lee Valley Country Park, and at Amwell Gravel Pits Nature Reserve, Herts.,my local "patch". These are areas with lots of different habitat including lakes, rivers and streams, marsh and wetland, hedgerows and woods.Other places visited regularly are Rye Meads RSPB Reserve and Connaught Water in Epping Forest. Further away from home, we visit friends in Powys and some of the photos were taken there. There are also a number of shots from our trip to Scotland in June 2007(Oban and Isle of Mull), Yorkshire in June 2008 and a few from Tenerife in October 2007.

Equipment used to take the earlier photos is a Canon Digital Rebel (300D) and Canon 100-300 telephoto zoom lens. Most of the photos taken after 22nd November 2007 will be with a Sigma 170-500 lens.
