Hello everyone
Hope I'm posting this in the right place - I just wanted to say hi, and great forum!
I love wildlife photography, and have somehow only just stumbled across this site.
I've just completed a degree in commercial photography (well, last june) and much to the distress of my lecturers based my final show on my wildlife photography.
I'd love to go pro one day, but thats a long way off...
Thanks for reading this!

Hi Dawn
Welcome to the forum - look forward to seeing your images!
Welcome to the forum . Just had a look at your website, some very nice images, especially the Hares boxing at dawn silhouette,one of the best Hare images I have ever seen IMO. I'm just over the border in west Suffolk, so if your ever down this way, give me a shout and I'll show you round my patch
Welcome from another relative newcomer Dawn. It's been very helpful to me. Good constructive criticism and assistance. Look forward to seeing some posts.
All the best
Robert
Hello Dawn
Welcome to our forum. I, too, like your boxing hares image, you should post it here.
Best wishes

Wow, thank you everyone for your kind comments!!
Thank you very much for your comments about my boxing hares photo Rob, and Phil. It is quite heavily cropped unfortunately, and I was a bit unsure about it seen as it is so different for my normal 'style'. I'm glad you like it!
I was out there with the hares again this morning, but couldn't stay for as long as I wanted as the farmer started spraying the field...whilst I was there...
Hopefully I'll have some new photos to show you soon!
Thanks!!

Looking forward to seeing that hare image on here. Different from the norm? That means it already has a lot going for it. Nice site BTW Eric

Welcome Dawn, I particularly like your old orchard project. I have an interest in old fruit cultivars. Any idea of what types of apple grow there? Norfolk Beauty, Norfolk Beefing and Norfolk Stone Pippin are three that spring to mind.
shows a nice image of Norfolk Beefing first recorded 1807.

Hi David,
Thanks for that. Yes, I did identify a few of the trees, not all of them though. I went to an 'Apple Day' and had a few apples identified there. I'll have to look up my paperwork, but the ones I remember were 'Queen' and 'St Edmunds Russet' which I was chuffed about! It would be great to id all the trees, there seems to be quite a variety.

Hello Dawn
The person(s) who planted the orchard had discerning tastes judging by the two examples you remember.
Raised by W. Bull, a farmer at Billericay, Essex, England from seed sown in 1858. Introduced in 1880 by Saltmarsh of Chelmsford, Essex as 'The Claimant'. Received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1880. Fruits have white, rather soft, fine-textured, juicy flesh with a distinctly acid flavour.
Raised by R. Harvey at Bury St. Edmunds, England. Recorded in 1875. It received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1875. Fruits have moderately firm, juicy, slightly acid flesh with good flavour.
It would be really interesting to see what other cultivars there are.A very useful book for i/d

Thanks for the info David!!
Just dug out my folder. The other two that were identified were 'Codlin' type - he said could be either 'Catshead' or 'Lord Derby'. The other was 'Cox' type - he said possibly 'Cox's Orange Pippin'.
There's also a few pear trees, and a plum! I'm pretty certain its Victoria, as we've got one in the garden...
Think I'll try and find out what some of the others are this year!
