It would also be a good reason to venture out in the evenings and take notice of our ever changing surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Deciding what to photograph over Spring was the easy part, finding the locations of the wildlife itself was more difficult but also very rewarding to find them in their natural habitats.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-607\" alt=\"Rabbit Kits\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/03-RabbitsMay2014-16-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/03-RabbitsMay2014-16-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/03-RabbitsMay2014-16-450x300.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/03-RabbitsMay2014-16.jpg 482w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Looking for specific habitats has led to a few discoveries that I didn\u2019t know about. The river canal that wasn\u2019t filled with water or boats but had lots of rabbits and their kits nearby. The walk to Uffington White Horse turned out to be an occasion to watch Red Kites souring over the hills hunting down dinner! And the Nature Reserve 10 miles down the road that has hides to watch a wide variety of birds including Herons and Cormorants.<\/p>\n<p>One discovery I didn\u2019t like however is that my poor old lens just isn\u2019t cut out for wildlife that is more than 10 metres away. Looks like I\u2019ll be investing in a new one!<\/p>\n<p>Summer has now begun and I\u2019m looking forward to what new things I&#8217;ll discover!<\/p>\n<p><strong><!-- index.php
