Always been a great favourite place of mine. A great collection of aeroplanes, a great series of airshows and now even better. This is 'the' latest aircraft to be based here at Shuttleworth and I for one truly commend the owner on their decision to base the aircraft at Old Warden, visitors can now see 3 airworthy hurricane's and there's certainly very few places in the world where you can see that - this has to make a special place that bit more special!!

Apologies for not posting in a while - I've actually been very busy, as if that's nothing different!! but over the past few weeks there's been a lot of tour admin, decorating and gardening to sort, so getting out in the field has dropped a little in priority. I haven't been totally inactive though and this years spring project has been something completely out of my comfort zone and I've been trying find and capture images of Adders in the wild. Having spent most of my free time during February and March looking for them I can say that they really aren't the easiest thing to find, they're actually quite secretive and it takes time and patience to track them down. Over the years I've seen some great images of Adders but they've always been taken under controlled conditions with the snakes being caught and subsequently 'posed' for photography and having absolutely no desire or intention of picking them up, and truthfully we shouldn't be anyway, I wanted to capture images showing what they really look like and how you would normally expect to see them in their habitat and within their comfort zone. Much maligned and feared you do get a feel and appreciation for them when you take the time to watch what they're up to - fascinating little thing's which I for one appreciate and understand far more having taken the time and opportunity to stand, watch and study them. - Enjoy the shots, I'm sure there's a few more to come.
