Frank Anderson Wildlife Photography Blog

 A trip to the coast resulted in a photo opportunity to photograph a couple of Cormorants approaching quite close to the shoreline whilst fishing.  They managed to catch a couple of large fish,...

It’s not often I buy a camera brand new and that’s just recently been release, but the R6 was an exception. I’m not the kind of person who needs to buy the latest camera because it’s ...

In recent weeks I've been spending some early mornings watching, and occasionally, when lucky, photographing a Barn Owl.  Having never seen one at this location (though my trail camera picked...

  A year ago, I'd never even seen a Hare in the wild, then last summer I discovered them locally and since spent some time watching and photographing them.  During the summer they were not ha...

What was perhaps the last of a late summer warm weather spell, I ventured out just before sunrise in the hope of maybe catching some wildlife.  Unfortunately, there were a lot of dog walkers so ...

 Just a quick post from my morning photographing Brown Hares.  Plenty of sunshine gave me the opportunity to photograph them with the light both behind and in front helping to give a different ...

Over the last month I have spent quite a bit of time getting up at ungodly hours, making the use of the early sunrises in the hope of photographing three specific animals.  Hares, Rabbits and Fo...

It's been a while since last posting. Not really sure if people are interested in looking at blogs anymore with social media replacing it. A lot of blogs I used to look at, also haven't posted an...

I haven’t been out much this summer, but couldn’t resist what might be a last gasp spell of warm weather this bank holiday weekend.  I thought I’d try my luck with Foxes again although at ...

It’s not often  I will go back to a successful shoot at a location in the hope of replicating the success again as it rarely turns out that way, but at this time of year it’s a great time to...

It’s been a while since I last posted a blog and I have been debating whether to continue with it.  Maybe blogs have gone out of style but I’m just not sure if the interest is out there any...

Every year I try and visit the Farne Islands.  Unfortunately this year I was unable to, especially disappointing as the weather has been particularly dry and sunny.  However, with newer and bet...

A recent deluge of rain after a couple of months of almost none has given the the plants and grass a sudden sprout of growth though still not as tall and lushes as you would normally expect at t...

I don’t seem to get out as much as I would like to these days, but the weather has been great recently, too good to miss so out I went.  At this time of year, Fox cubs are venturing out on the...

They named it ‘The Beast from the East’, the cold and snowy weather that hit the country last week.  Most people seemed content with staying in out of the cold but it was too good a photo op...

A sunny, if cold weekend gave good lighting opportunities for some photography but, about the only thing showing was a couple of Great Spotted Woodpeckers.  The low late Autumn sunshine along wi...

My attempts to get out this Autumn and make the most of its colours, have failed miserably for one reason or another.  The weekend was probably two weeks too late with most of the leaves fallen ...

I think, for those of us who are wildlife or landscape photographers, we each have our own reasons for being so.  For me it’s an interest in wildlife which I’ve had since I was a kid, togeth...

A recent post on a camera forum got me thinking recently, as this person was unhappy with his camera (not something unusual on a camera forum) but they said their camera, a Canon 6D, was an ‘a...

It’s been a while since I’ve really managed to photograph Kingfishers and four years since I blogged a post showing them.  They can be very elusive but one of my favourite birds to watch an...

It’s become an annual ritual to visit the Farne Islands over recent years, so much so that I usually take a week or so off work around the busiest time for the seabirds there. Unfortunately, on...

…different results.  As is so often I’ve found, you can rarely ever re-create the same success previously achieve, as was the case on this occasion. I wasn’t going to bother posting this a...

A trip out in the hope to see and photograph Foxes proved perfect early summer conditions, little wind and not too hot with of sunshine though the latter proved to be as much of a hinder from a p...

A visit in recent weeks to one of the local ‘Nature Reserves’ was, not unexpectantly, disappointing.  When I first went there around seven years ago, it was a gold mine for wildlife as, alon...

When you think of a bird building its nest, you think of twigs, moss, leaves, maybe seaweed, but if you’re a residential bird that lives on a man made lake then you’ll take whatever is at ha...
