Lock Down Gallery


During the government's lock down, I have attempted to photograph every species I've seen on my Covid-19 patch, which is an area of about 2.5 miles radius from my house. I live in a suburb on the western edge of Nottingham. I suppose I'm quite fortunate to have ponds, woodland, a large park with a lake and farmland all within walking distance. Consequently, I have managed to amass a decent lock down list. 

Below are the species that I have managed to photograph so far. A few that I have recorded have been flyovers - or have been heard only. At the end is my running total of species. I'll update this page as I go.
