Upcoming Trips

Here are a few upcoming trips I've got planned for the next few months!

Bologna 

This is my current location, and I'm hoping to photograph many spectacular summering birds up on the East coast marshes of Comacchio near Ravenna - bee eaters, hoopoes and black winged stilts in particular.

Rome and Picinisco
Early March

In springtime the mountains in Picinisco are home to many types of beautifully coloured butterflies and insects. This will be the first time I'll have used the macro lens since last July with marbled white butterflies in Normandy!


Edinburgh
Late March

This is not a wildlife trip by any stretch of the imagination; however, I hope to resume plant photography at the Royal Botanical Gardens and to photograph sanderling and other waders at the North Berwick beach.






Hong Kong and Cheung Cheu Island 
Early April


Again, this isn't a particularly wildlife-specific trip, although there are plenty of opportunities considering our location. I am hoping for many early morning starts to photograph local bird life (fork tailed sunbirds, sulphur crested cockatoos and red whiskered bulbuls in particular) and perhaps some other wildlife like vine snakes and mudskippers too.




Normandy
Mid May

Need I add anything more? A week in Normandy to photograph pond and meadow wildlife with the macro lens from dusk till dawn...bliss...
