My most viewed photo on flickr just hit 20,000 views. Its getting about 1000 views per month, mainly due to the upcoming release of the new mini 4x4.

Yep that's right a 4x4 mini. Looks like its on a Suzuki chassis but I may be wrong. Looked a lot of fun :o)

Taken at the local 4x4 off road funday

First visit to the quarry this year. It was later than normal when I got there and only managed a few shots. I will try again in a few months when it gets a bit warmer :)

Taken in the last snowfall of the winter at the end of February not far from home. I liked the chaos of the snowy trees even though I walk the dog through the gap every day of the week I had never seen it looking this good before :o)

Last bird of prey for a while :o) This is the same owl as I posted a 10 days ago but taken from behind. I like inclusion of the trees, gives it more of a wild feel :)

Another Bald Eagle from the Gauntlet Bird of Prey centre. This one had ruffled all its feathers up and really liked the look of it...

Another shot from the bird of prey centre. They had been flying the owls in the arena and this tiny owl landed on the fence post. It was one of my favourite shots of the day...

Oulton Park Track Day

See all 108 photos

Spent three hours at Oulton park race circuit photographing the Motorbike’s, Its only the 2nd time I have done track photography and they are a lot quicker than the 4x4’s I normally photograph when I am in motor sport mode. I enjoyed trying something different and don’t think they are too bad, although I did take a lot of shots to get these 108 photos.

Another shot from The Gauntlet Birds of Prey Centre. This one was hard to get right, it was in a small hut and the back was made up of twigs hanging down. The first few I tried the Eagle blended into the background too much so I boosted the flash to light him up a bit...

I must admit at first I past over this shot and was not going to post it to flickr, I did however post it on my facebook feed and it got a few comments so I thought I would have another look at it and the more I see it the more it grows on me :o)

The reason I initially ruled it out is the patten in the background, its caused by an out of focus tree branch in the snowy field behind the fence. Let me know what you think :o)

Another wintry shot, well it has been cold for months now... The sun was shining (I know that rare these days) so I placed it behind the tree to add some backlighting, You can make out the snow flakes in the sky (its not sensor dust, honest) as there was a snow shower going on at the same time, typical British weather :o)

A very Frozen Rudyard Lake taken during the cold spell in January. The Temperature had been down to -10C so I was not surprised to see it frozen over.

My Dad was over visiting from Canada and we spent the day in the Knutsford area, firstly at the Gauntlet Birds of Prey Eagle and Vulture Park then on the way home we stopped at Lower Peover church. It was a sunny but somewhat cold day but as always had fun being out with Dad. Not sure who took the most photos but know I had a good day :o)

Spent the morning in the Goyt Valley. The weather was rubbish, the light was flat and grey and it was very misty but as Dad was only over from Canada for two weeks, it was now or never... We had a good day out, even if the photos were not so good :o)
