On a recent trip to the Lake District i was able to find the grave of a true British hero and legend, Sir Donald Campbell. Here he is laid to rest in Coniston cemetery. He died on lake Coniston in January 1967 but his body was not recovered until 28th May 2001. |

Malham last Saturday. Just entering the path leading to the Cove when i spotted a Green Woodpecker.. |

A popular bird in the Dales..a Pied Wagtail, shot taken just south of Malham Cove |

After watching the Peregrine Falcon at Malham (a pair has been nesting for the last few years), watching the male on the nest ledge then go of soaring above the Cove itself, we had a picnic way above Malham, miles from anywhere whilst being serenaded by skylarks. Later in the day we would catch sight of flocks of Fieldfares and a pair of Curlews. |

Sunday was Bempton Cliffs, an RSPB reserve. It must have the biggest Gannet colony in the UK along with the massive amount of Razorbills and Guillemots that were on show.It was too early for the Puffins but I'll be back in May to capture them on film.The cliffs were a base for larege colonys of Kittiwake too. |

Enjoying the sights, sounds and weather at Bempton |

Living in harmony...Kittiwakes and Gannets share the cliff face at Bempton I've plenty more photo's if any of you want to see more...:) |
