Set on one of my regular walks, this little copse at the bend in the river is a favourite place to see the usual river suspects, plus badgers, foxes, buzzards and heron. Sadly, it’s a long time since there’s been Dipper about, but the Kingfishers can occasionally be seen flashing by. (Exhibited at NEWA 2007 – Alkyd on canvas.)

I’m now trying a PixelPost site section (link ‘spoor’) to post some of the thousands of photographs I’ve amassed over the years – some of them may even be worth looking at! I will add a few photos as and when I get around to it – to try it out – but most of my general ones are still on Flickr.
