@sevans1032 @bristolbirding Lovely pics! Nice seeing you there!

The struggles of photographing petrels:
1. When they come too close for my lens
2. When 2 petrels are flying towards you from opposite directions and you don't know which one to focus on!
3. When they go behind the waves!
Despite all these problems I managed to get a few pics

How can you not like a flower called a Great Masterwort? Slimbridge WWT today.

[James R Dickinson @JDPhotography24]

Rescued a Scarlet Tiger moth trapped in the water today at Slimbridge WWT.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.
