It’s been an unpredictable few weeks in terms of weather on the coast that has dampened my motivation to get out and about as much. I’ve also been on the receiving end of abuse when out photographing wildlife in more populated areas. This was unexpected as it’s a well known local wildlife spot with hundreds of animals there.
However, I’ve found a few local walks that away from the general public and the risk of abuse and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed walking several miles a day carrying my camera and a bit of food. They range between 3-7 miles on average which is great exercise when you’re carrying around a pro build camera and 600mm lens (plus my backup camera and lenses!)
I’ve stuck to the coast for the majority for the time and saw everything from common seagulls to a black tern and 4-5 deer grazing in the fields. There’s signs that autumn has begun and I’m looking forward to photographing the local wildlife in the autumn colours.
I haven’t got many exciting images to share however that hasn’t stopped me from grabbing some cute photos of the locals. I’ll drop them below. It’s been an interesting area to walk and I’ve bumped into some lovely people who took a few minutes (or half an hour!) out of their day to talk to me about what I was doing, what they had seen on their own walks, and what they have in their local areas. Some days this is okay but when I’m having a rough day I put my head down and walk by. So if you ever see me out and about and I don’t stop - I’m just having a rough day and need the space. Nothing personal.
A brief social media update - I now have twitter! @ImagesByBH with bare minimum on at the moment however I will link it to this site and my Instagram to keep people updated in a more concise way!
That’s all for now, enjoy the photos!
