Photos of river scenes

[Nigel Whittingham]

Ha,.. there’s a couple of regular fox visitors that don’t seem to mind acting as props for my photos Dave. I wouldn’t say they were tame, they just seem to accept my presence but no one else’s. I do give them a few dog biscuits ( kibble) as a reward but they seem to prefer hinders elips pellets!

So these shots are real?? I thought they were superimposed as every shot looks like a calendar picture! Almost too good to be true!
If thats the case, how lucky you are!

Is that fox tame, Dave? He seems to get into quite a few of your shots in your back garden!

He lives next door to a taxidermist

Not superimposed,.. just lucky to live in a wildlife corridor. I’ve taken literally thousands of fox images these past few years along both Stour and Avon as well as videos ,… pity we can’t put videos up on here.

As the eyesight gradually fades I need all the help I can get to see something interesting to photograph on the river,.. meet my trusty spotter.

Superb pictures Dave. I particularly like the one with the fox & the swan.

This thread is about river scenes so I don’t post riverbank wildlife pics that often but I do try to include something interesting in a scene if I can. People often ask how close I get for some of the wildlife image’s I’ve taken,… I usually show them this pic of a fox gazing at its reflection in the lens front element whilst I was having a break and coffee beside the river last summer.

They are obviously doing well on the diet, Dave.

That is superb Dave

Daves photos are superb. Not just his Fox ones but the wildlife.

One of my favourites is of the Bull.
That decided Daves next shot should be taken whilst standing in the river after a record sprint!!!!!!

Ah,.. being charged by the Sopley bull
Just to think I’d been reassuring club members that he was an old softy before ending up soaked, muddied and a quivering wreck!

Wonderful pictures Dave!

Taken 2 weeks ago during a snow flurry at Neatishead Staithe in the Norfolk Broads. Caught lots of small perch whilst trying to improve my "drop-shotting" technique! More practise needed for sure
