The pair seem to be taking turns incubating their eggs, so they are much less visible. But if you show patience... & feisty Coots. #eastlondonkingfishers #nature #wildlife #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #eastlondon #hackneymarshes

Two days later & the males are still fighting over the new nest. One was waiting inside for the other to sneak in. Then he chased him out & away. So happy to catch the action.

ll kicking off down on the Marshes! 2 males fighting over a nest site. It’s really close to an established nest, so I’m not sure if it’s not wanting neighbours or about needing a new nest or? #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #hackneymarshes

My favourite shot from today’s visit to the Kingfisher pair on Hackney Marshes. The Male scoping the fishing opportunities.

Found a nesting Kingfisher pair in Hackney today. The male was feeding the female. She never left the nest site in over 2 hours.

I've never shot a pano before. It wasn’t preplanned, but added on at the end of my recent Lighthouse shoot. I don’t think much of the composition. I love how I have captured nebula in the MW, along with both the large & small Magellanic Clouds. The starlight trails across the sea are cool

I went back & spent the whole night out shooting alone under the beautiful warm quiet star filled outback sky.
As the moon was full & up all night I couldn’t get a shot of the Milky Way. So I took this 8 hour star trail timelapse.
I was truly in my happy place.

How come I never heard about this when I grew up in Weymouth & fought fascists there 40 years after this happened in 1938?

So after a long weekend of fun at @portfairyfolkfestival I got up after 2 hrs sleep to go stand in the dark. This is a quick initial edit of one of the shots I took at the Port Fairy Lighthouse between 2 & 5am. #astrophotography #lighthouse #milkyway

The completed Moai all face away from the sea on Rapa Nui. I suppose living on a tiny island hundreds of miles from the next might make people somewhat introspective. #astrophotography #easterisland #moai #polynesia #pacficocean
