Autumn in the Yorkshire Dales – ‘Through the year’ project

These are some photos from a morning visit to the Yorkshire Dales.

This is part of a large ongoing project to photograph the habitats I regularly visit in Yorkshire, and a few surrounding counties, to show the flora and fauna found in these ecosystems throughout the year. These include farmland, meadows, riverbanks, moorland, woodland, and coastal cliffs.

Some autumn photos from the Yorkshire Arboretum. The colours have been spectacular over the last few weeks, and it’s also always lovely to see the birds here too.

A weekend of wildlife

Some photos from a weekend watching wildlife. We went to Studley Royal for dawn to watch the deer there. This fallow stag silhouetted against the dawn sky was my favourite deer shot.

Early mornings in autumn often bring mists over the lake here and the swans are also beautiful to capture reflected in the lake, as well as the reflections of the autumn colours in the water.

Another interesting place to visit at this time of year is Spurn point and the surrounding area for autumn migrants, and other birds. Late afternoon I spotted this barn owl hunting in the low sun, with the light shining through its feathers.

This little egret flying across the low sun was my last photo of the day.
