Posted: 26 Jul 2005 Hi Gemma , He he , I do hope he skunked you too  
Well, At least you're getting them , and that's great news , i'm so jealous. This one from the garage just sat perfectly still in the corner as I reached over to pick Him/Her up. It still managed to stink my hands up though

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 Yep well and truly skunked for my troubles. I did threaten to Merv that I might start using it as my usual perfume The're great pics Al , how did you do the lighting, is it flash or just positioning? I was using a lens protector, seems to have darkened my piccies a little. Gemma Fairchild, Independent Ecological Consultant |

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 LOL! Glad to hear it , but poor Merv
Thanks Gemma , there was no flash used . I posed the snakey making sure there were light green leaves in the background to create the soft green , then once again used my mini tripod and release cable. Lens protector shouldn't darken your pics , i've got one on mine a Jessops UV . Is yours a UV Filter? O-> O+> |

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 Hi Al, I went for a Hoya UV filter. It states use for protection so I guess it should be OK. Maybe it was just the very overcast conditions when I took the piccies? I'm so new to all this that it's all more luck than design at the moment Gemma Fairchild, Independent Ecological Consultant |

Posted: 05 Aug 2005 Time for another piccy me thinks. I've been after this one all week at 'work'. He has had clay adhearing to him for over 4 days, suggesting a lot of herps probably 'went to ground' during the hot spell in June/July.

Posted: 05 Aug 2005 Nope, this one was moved as part of a mitigation. Been seeing him all week out on a reed bed out of reach.. but today struck lucky. Gemma Fairchild, Independent Ecological Consultant |

Posted: 31 Aug 2006 Another snake doing its mime impression of Frank Sinatra ie "Ol' Blue Eyes". Picture was taken by Martin Roome, who had never seen such blue eyes before. One of eight seen close together by him at his best spot in Derbyshire last weekend. They seem to be sheltering in a gap in a large masonry structure over a river and using a narrow 4 inch wide ledge in the stone work to reach solid ground above the river bank.
