Sunderland Airshow - 25th-26th of July 2009

Well the time has come around again for the UK's biggest free airshow, Sunderland Airshow 2009. After last years event which was completely shrouded in thick fog for both days the weather, this year, is looking more promising.

I am hoping to be there covering the event on both days so look out for some photos posted on this blog and my other websites at the beginning of next week.

Its a great event, so if your looking for something to do this weekend, get yourself to Sunderland.

North Yorkshire Moors Trip

Just got back from a quick trip up onto the North Yorkshire Moors, about a 10 minute drive from where i live. The light was really nice and we found this Red Grouse posing for us.

The main aim of the trip was to test out Mike's new Canon 1dmk3 which Canon have just sent him as a replacement for his previous Mk3 which he has had nothing but problems since he bought it 2 years ago and has been back to Canon 4 times for fixing. Basically it was a £3000 doorstop, it was rubbish. I'm happy to report that the new one looks much better.

Far Pastures Report

Well i went to a local hide today to find the Kingfisher, i sat for nearly 7 hours and the first shot i took was 10 minutes before i left and that was of a Great Blue Heron. The Kingfisher flew past once and disappeared off in the other direction.

Reports were that he had been posing for people in the hide, everyday for the last 2 weeks but of course not today.
