EllonIris

EllonIris An enthusiastic amateur photographer who splits her time between Northants and Staffordshire and who regularly migrates to Rutland.

At her happy place when clambering on farm gates or getting muddy boots on camera days with her dad. Ellon_Iris is named after my grandmothers, one from Ellon in Northern Scotland, the other called Iris. It is a very personal project for me and reflects hours with my friends and family having fun. What you see here is a very small collection of the thousands of photos we take when we are out and about but they make the early mornings, mud, hayfever, cold days and aching muscles worthwhile.

I really like razorbills like these ones on the Farne Islands. Great black and white plumage and that unexpected bright yellow inside their mouth. Taken while out with Billy Shiel.

A rather grumpy baboon at South Lakes Safari Zoo. There was a lively dispute at feeding time but it was quickly resolved after a lot of screeching and teeth showing from this individual!

Last night on our walk there was a robin in very good voice singing away so I thought I’d take the hint and remind everyone just how lovely they are in my post this morning

A little more colourful than the normal London pigeon! Another one taken from our trip to London earlier in the year. It was lovely to watch this one on the blossom while we had breakfast in the Cafe at St James’s Park

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
But I’m damned if I see how the helican!
