Due to work commitments and the poor lack of Spring weather ... I haven't really felt inspired to go out and take photos. I also found that my degree has somewhat ruined my hobby of Photography (the deadlines, the briefs and the tutorials) and therefore, I have been trying to regain some enjoyment from it. It only really came back to me when I went for a walk around Bude Canal (One of the best nature reserves in Cornwall in my opinion) with a friend from uni and my current partner Jon. We went for a couple of walks around the area and I actually felt compelled to bring my camera.
I actually made a new year resolution to carry my SLR everywhere I go, however I failed to do so. The idea behind the 2013 challenge was to never miss a photo opportunity again (as I have done countless times before). If you are a keen wildlife observer THEN ALWAYS CARRY YOUR CAMERA! Trust me ... I could have won Wildlife Photographer of the Year so0o many times if I took my camera everywhere with me!
So Growing up in the City of Hull (rhymes with dull what more can I say) I decided that I wasn't going reside in a city environment for the rest of my life but start a new life in the countryside where I feel more at home. It has some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural history in the UK. <--- Fact.
Anyway ... enough rambling. Here are a few photos from Bude Canal and some of the reasons why living in Cornwall has been the most inspirational of my life.
Long Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
Canadian Goose (Branta canadensis)
Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) - who should have migrated back to Scandinavia by now!
Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
Fungi
