Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

A shame you missed the otters and the kingfisher but maybe better luck next time. It is still a beautiful place and a great capture.

I guess you will just have to keep on trying, eh? It's a beautiful spot to hang around waiting...

maybe next time you see the animals. they hard to spot at times. hope you get the shot of the big black cats I hear about over there. just watch out about them. Saw how some got hurt by some.No one killed that I know of. Of course your dogs would run away so run with them

What a lovely spot! I guess you'll have to keep going back. Look how long it took Denise to get a good shot of that danged heron! Perseverance furthers. In the meantime, it should be no hardship to hang out there. SO beautiful!

Absolutely lovely...I am reading a book about explorers floating down the River of Doubt in the Amazon Rain Forest in 1914...good thing about the Stour...no canibals or piranha:)

The sloping trees look like they maybe a bridge one day! Lovely shot Andrea! Both the Kingfisher and Otter are things we rarely glimpse. Thats all we need though to brighten up any day!
