Interesting day when suddenly the sky was filled with birds of prey (Buzzards and Kites), raptors and seagulls just across the hedgerow. Shotes taken with my Canon 5D and 100-400mm telephoto and then cropped in Photoshop.
The fellow below did a low pass over the hedge. The trailing string I suspect was from a baler as the local farmers appeared to be cutting silage and it was probably this activity that caused small mammals to be revealed and available!
Set in the Carmarthenshire countryside 4 miles north of the centre of Carmarthen at an altitude of 600 feet. Some exposure to the westerly winds blowing from the Preseli mountains but the tree planting in 1991 manage to create a peaceful and still haven in the lower parts of the garden.
All the photographs in this site have been taken in the garden or from the garden (such as some of the photos of birds)
