Twitching at Eden

Popped down to the Eden Project the other day to take some photos of the birds with my Sigma 170-500 lens as I really haven't used it half as much as I should have done.

I found a male and female chaffinch:

And a Dunnock:

So nothing too exotic! Still, it's all practise.

Lanhydrock

I went for a photography wander around the Lanhydrock Estate last Saturday with members of St Austell Camera Club. The grounds were a stunning mix of Victorian gardens surrounded by acres of grass and lovely old trees.

I took a few shots (click on the photo for a larger version)

The Gatehouse, Lanhydrock



I loved this old door, it reminded me of The Secret Garden and made me wonder what was behind it...
