A few days away camping in the Yorkshire Dales is always an excuse to record the local wildlife pictorially. Here are a few snapshots of some of the local plants and birdlife I spied along the banks of the river Wharfe between Burnsall and Bolton Abbey. Along with a few additions. 🙂



















There was of course wildlife that I didn’t manage to photograph. Stridd Wood at Bolton Abbey is home to Black Caps and Pied Flycatchers. We saw Dippers and even spied the turquoise gleam of a Kingfisher. Every morning we were woke by a rousing Dawn Chorus that included the calls of curlews and a cuckoo. 🙂 There is nothing so beautiful than the English Countryside. Even if a few nights under canvas is a lot noisier than you would imagine! 🙂
Lovely photos! What amazing wildlife there is in the country x
There really is.:)))
Hope you enjoyed your camping?
Hi yes we did.Though one morning there was frost on the ground.That was a cold night!
Fab pics – nothing like going away to remind you to take your camera. I’m always promising myself I’ll take wildlife pics at home and never doing it 😦
I bet you have some fantastic wildlife on Dartmoor.x
We certainly do 🙂
