WAs eating lunch on the balcony of the pub inside Euston station when I noticed a kestrel sitting on an aerial of some description. At first I though it was a plastic model put up to bother the pigeons, but the thought obviously offended it and it flew around for a bit to make a point.
Wasn’t equipped to photography small birds at long distances, but took this shot anyhow. Said bird is just visible silhouetted against the sky to the left of the dark pillars on the right of the shot.
Up to London today – interesting that I say ‘up to’ despite that fact that it is quite clearly ‘down to’ – anyway, move on. Up to London today to see if I could win a holiday to Australia with this photo which was a finalist in the Wanderlust Travel photographer of the Year competition:
Unfortunately I didn’t but it was a great event with a really friendly atmosphere – the Wanderlust team were very welcoming and the judges were very happy tom provide constructive feedback at the drinks reception after, so think I learned a lot.
Also being in London I get a chance to shoot things I don’t see in Cumbria – cars, people, buildings, shops, etc., etc.. Here’s a rack of bicycles for hire.
Excellent CIPR course today, and the weather and light outside was even more awesome – sadly the light was gone (agan) by the time the course was over, and coupling that with the need to get to an underground station, I only had time for a couple of quick shots – like this one.
