Out and About
This aim of the Out and About pages is to give you background information about where some of these photographs are taken.
The general information page gives you details about organisations such as The Barn Owl Trust, RSPB or RNLI. Website addresses or these organisations are included where possible, so you can link with them to gain more information for yourself in your own time.
The information on England is subdivided into counties. I aim to expand this to cover the many places I travel to see and take photos of wildlife or sports such as rugby. There are two other pages on Wales and Scotland, which I also hope to expand, improve and try to keep up to date. I have tried to include web addresses in each section for you to link with and get more information.
I would add that, the comments here are my personal views and if you don't agree with some of the descriptions or moans about various places please get in touch and tell me what you think. Also, if you think I should visit a place, again please get in touch and I will do my best to visit. I only put places I have visited or details of organisations that I have used myself on these pages.
