Tom Heap from Countryfile, in Pocklington Costa Coffee – Pig Welfare!

Friday, February 15th, 2013

I was in Pocklington late this afternoon, before an appointment with the quack, in the latest change to the Pocklington High Street, Pocklington moves into the 21st Centry, with it’s very own Costa Coffee! It’s been open approximately two weeks.

and Lindsey spotted Tom Heap from Countryfile, finishing a Coffee, with a soundman, and production assistant. They had BBC Countryfile paperwork, on leaving I asked the production assistant, what Countryfile article they were filming, and she said “Pig Welfare!”, I replied “you’ll be lucky to find any pigs around here with the decline in Pig Farming” in East Riding of Yorkshire, due to low pig meat prices, I think we may only have 1 or 2 local Pig farmers in the area now, and hard working farmers they are as well!

On the way back to my car, the film crew had a tripod in front of my vechile, whilst Tom, did a walk towards camera….

My Summer Grey Heron

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012

Travelling to the office everyday during the summer months, I regularly spotted a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), early morning and afternoon, resident on the Bishop Burton pond, feeding on the many fish present. At first I thought it was a captive bird, that had it’s wings clipped, because despite the amount of traffic that passed everyday, it did not seem to be distracted. When I decided to start putting the camera and tripod in the car, it was never present. Sadly, I no longer see the heron any more, in the early mornings, and I hope it will return in the Spring/Summer next year.

Finally, in September 2012, I managed to capture these photographs in the rain, with my Canon 350D DSLR, and 17-85mm and 75-300mm.

Whilst, I was taking these pictures the Heron, was very aware of my presence, and started to move off, shortly after taking these photographs. So it’s clearly got used to the traffic. If you Google, there are photos of a Heron on/in/around the pond, as far back as 2008-2009, I’m not sure if it’s the same bird, they live for approx 5 years, so it could be!

Next time I see Chris Packham or Simon King, I’ll need to ask them if I can borrow their 1500mm lens!

Until next Spring/Summer 2013!

Summer 2012 Over?

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012

Well the Summer is almost over, I think the Swallows have already flown and migrated back to Africa, and the House Martins are waiting to return, as they are still flying above the house.

There are still a few fields and crops of wheat and barley to harvest…

outside our house……
