Walking up to the viewpoint following the paths (I have not been this way before) I put the camera down to change the battery, on picking it up a lizard ran from underneath a tile that I had laid it on. He was gone before I could even think. He was 5 to 6 inches long and a grey/green. I will have to watch just what I am doing in future.

That was it as it was time to go home.
I did meet a few people up their and they gave me ideas on places to go.
Techno bits for Mike the lens has a switch on it to bring it down to 1,6 MTS which helps with the close ups
Bye for now
Nice spot Trev and good pictures, ok on the close up switch.
ReplyDeleteLike the *scene" shots as Sue calls them.
See you later
Yes Mike is was something different and made a change.
ReplyDeleteI have been told of a few places to go that are not too far away. I will tell you later when I see you.
Look out for today's blog later.
I love Northward Hill Trev and you have some super shots.... Ken took a picture at the top of the drive coming in to the reserve, over looking the fruit trees with the valley below .... lovely view and we have it enlarged and printed on canvas ... It is rabbit heaven for the puppies.... hundreds of the little buggers! lol xxx
ReplyDeleteOh,That made me laugh the thought of Holly and Daisy chasing all those rabbits.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place and yesterday there were a few car parked at the top of the hill where you said. I was going to go out to were the Heron are but change my mind and went the other way. I am glad I did as I met this chap who told me about a place near Faversham.
It was a nice afternoon and I chatted with a few people.
I am glad your trip went well.
