Images On Canvas

I now have a collection of images available to buy on canvas from Picadore. Just the perfect gift for christmas. Please click here.....

The Peregrine

Thought I would catch up with my local pair of Peregrine Falcons. They were out hunting when I arrived at the site, however I was lucky enough to see the female fly in with some prey. The male bird was calling frantically for the female to share the kill, but she was having none of it.

Whitethroat

Here are a view Whitethroat images that I took this summer which I have only just got around to processing......

I am still alive..........

Firstly many apologies for not updating my blog for so long! I am going to try my best at keeping regular updates as much as my spare time allows. So my latest post is a combination of rarities seen on the east coast over the last few months - hope you enjoy.

Lapland Bunting

Dusky Warbler

Western Bonelli's Warbler

Eastern Olivaceous Warbler

I hope there is still a few weeks left for more migrant birds to drop in on the east coast. I had the chance of photographing Barred Warbler, Icterine Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Red-backed Shrike and others but just did not have the time to pursue these great birds - you cant win them all!

Bank Holiday Exhibition

I am holding another exhibition of my images this Bank Holiday weekend on the Sat/Sun/Mon @ RSPB Bempton Cliffs from 10.00am to 4.30pm. Please come along and take a look at some of my latest images.

Life On The Ledge

Guillemots

Razorbill

Puffin

Kittiwake

It was one of those day's!! The light was right, the wind direction was right and there were loads of birds arriving on the cliffs at Bempton. There is just something about a Razorbill that just always puts a smile on my face, what fantastic birds to watch. Finally a decent number of Puffins have arrived and they are all busy grabbing nest material and taking it back to their holes in the cliff face.

I have also just updated my website with even more images taken on this great day out at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Please take a look at http://www.steverace.com

First Exhibition 2010

I will be holding an exhibition of my images this Easter weekend at RSPB Bempton Cliffs Reserve on Sat/Sun/Mon. If you are visiting the reserve this weekend please pop in and take a look or if you are at a loose end wondering what to do this Easter weekend why not visit the Bempton Cliffs Reserve. It is an amazing sight at this time of year as most of the seabirds are back in large numbers.

Welcome Back

Gannets

Kittiwake (juvenile)

Kittiwake

Fulmar

Yes folks, it's that amazing time of year again when the seabirds of Bempton Cliffs make their amazing journey's back to the reserve to start breeding. Its only early March and already the Gannets, Kittiwakes and Fulmars are back in big numbers. All the birds are busy with their courtship displaying and nest building.

It is only going to be a matter of a couple of weeks or so before we see phase two at Bempton - the return of the Auks! Guillemots, Razorbills and of course the ever popular Puffins will be back at Bempton soon and I will be waiting on the view points with my camera at the ready.
