My scrumptious picture of an organic turkey, gammon, bacon and sausages once again features on the Sheepdrove Shop website, where their Christmas Hamper takes pride of place among the seasonal goods.

I’m building a modest photo gallery for autumn, and adding notes each week. Having this little mission for the BBC gets me out shooting, which is good, although I didn’t have the right lens for the Red Kite, Buzzard and Kestrel which came tantalisingly close!

An ornithologist asked me if I might have some photos for his presentations. He wasn’t after clear, obvious pictures – rather, he wanted images to help with bird identification exercises for his audience. Nothing too easy for everyone!
My lenses aren’t really suited to great bird photography, so it didn’t take me long to gather a collection of ‘not great but useful’ photos! Fancy yourself as a good birdwatcher? Find my bird ID slideshow on Zenfolio.

What’s the spirit of a landscape? What makes the landscape itself, and what makes it alive? The broad horizons of the Lambourn Downs are walked by livestock, and have been for thousands of years. Cattle and sheep were central to the ‘domestication’ of the countryside in these parts.
In some ways, the livestock helped to shape the character of this landscape, and they are part of the living, working environment. Just as agriculture has changed with the times, so have the breeds of cattle, but a drover from the Iron Age might recognise this scene today.
My point is, I took photos of the landscape in this same field without these cattle, but I think the picture is all the richer for the animals being present.
