I originally started to take photographs for reference material for my art but as time goes by, I am enjoying photography equally 
I have chosen the title "Hugging Trees", the name sprang to mind as I do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time crawling around the woods, hiding in trees and getting messy
I have always loved wildlife and nature and have lots of enthusiasm but not a lot in the way of expertise.

Spring has sprung

I called into Venus pool on Thursday of this week and was watching some ringed plovers squabbling away. They are busy little things thats for sure, I did eventually manage to take a photograph although it was a bit of a long way off.
Other than that I thought it was a little bit quiet, there were a few lapwings, a great crested grebe surfaced near to the hide but I didn't see anything too unusual.
I also went and took a look at Lena's hide which has lot of feeders, it was nice to see the sun on some of them and after a little while a Great Spotted Woodpecker came and kept me company.
Today, I went walking and have to say it was one of those days for spotting things in unusual places. I noticed that a nuthatch had quite clearly made a nest in somebodys wall and I spotted this little fella too.
Does this make him a telegraph pole creeper? All that time I spend trying to get a photo last week and this one just appeared.
I spotted the first swallows of the season, four of them above the fields although I didn't hear the call, I did see a cuckoo on my travels...
Then, when I got home, well this one was on my lawn
