Camping Lundy Pride
As temperatures soared around the longest day in June (#Joon17) in north Devon, it was too hot to work, too hot to sleep and too hot to deal with the crowds who has swarmed to the coast in search of some relief from the humid conditions. There was only one option – a last minute […]
PS (Puffins & Sika)
May 27, 2017
Postscript to the May Lundy trip are these photos of Puffins & Sika deer taken with the Long Tom. The long tom is my Canon 600mm f4 weighting in at nearly 5 ½ kilos, it is virtually impossible to hand hold except for short periods and although it is bitingly sharp is a class one, […]
Day tripping Lundy dreaming
May 26, 2017
Maytime, the early boat from Bideford, despite getting up at minus-saturday to make the 8am sailing you are rewarded with a few extra hours of island time.

Maytime Magic
May 28, 2016
With all the Puffin-tastic excitement of my previous post (Puffins & Bluebells) I almost forgot these set of pix of our encounter with the Sika deer herd on Lundy. Amazing the think that all the photos taken in these two blog posts were taken in just four short hours on the Island. Maytime on Lundy […]
In the calm before the storm
February 13, 2016
It was back to Tibbetts at the beginning of February and instead of the hoped-for snow, the weather was mild and damp. While storm Imogen was still clearing her throat and hitching up her skirts out in the mid-atlantic, we went for a mini yomp north of the three quarter wall in the calm before […]
