\"Oxwich<\/a><\/p>\n

There has been quite a lot of reed clearing a long the road to Oxwich Beach on both side of the road in Oxwich Burrows. There also seem to be lots of new signs ready for visitors. I went down to check on the position of the local Pheasants who tend to display amongst the flowers, plus there is normally a gret view of bluebells and cowslips growing together. The cowslips are just starting, and the bluebells are nowhere to be seen at the moment. They are probably about 2 weeks from being fully developed.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the reeds close to the road has been cleared it is easier to get a view of the ponds. I managed to see Moorhen, Mallard and a Heron, with some geese being visible about a week ago. I think now that it has been opened up it will prove to be a good vantage point to photograph from as long as nobody runs me over as there is not much space at the side of the road!<\/p>\n

\"Reeds,<\/a><\/p>\n

There are still plenty of reeds left on both sides of the road, but they are quite a challenging subject to make an image of. I think that I will have to revisit in better light as it was getting quite dark when the above image was taken, plus a breeze was starting.? Amazingly though just around the corner, the wind was less and allowed the image below to be made with a long exposure of 3 seconds. Even enlarged, I haven’t found one catkin that is blurred. I’m still looking though as there are quite a few to look at. It is quite a busy image, but I like the structure of the branches behind the catkins and the contrast in colour between the two.<\/p>\n
