		<description><![CDATA[An afternoon wandering the undercliff. A glance over the side of the wall and below we glimpsed fish swimming hazily into view and then disappearing into the waves. I had to persevere to get some sort of photo but the result inspires me to paint the scene. Here is my photo, thick lipped mullet after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day Kevin and I went for a walk to get out of Brighton. We headed for the River Rother. I grumbled &#8211; too many people, it wasn&#8217;t wild enough, too tame, can&#8217;t get away enough! I missed seeing the pleasant surroundings and wildlife so caught up was I in my thoughts and grumblings. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took this today while visiting Woods Mill, headquarters of The Sussex Wildlife Trust here in Sussex. There were many flitting above the water and resting on their territories amongst the vegetation. This is a male, resting on his territory hoping to attract a female. I love his indigo wings! Watching and trying to photograph [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been wanting to photograph the elusive and fleeting wildlife encounters I’ve experienced recently around town – the sparrowhawk that flew straight across the road in front of me making a peeping noise and with a starling or blackbird in its talons. Or the fox which slunk past me on the pavement within a metre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent cloudy day beside the sea yielded these photos. I love the weathered, sea-washed wood of these groyne posts and the rich rust colours of the pier&#8217;s iron pillars! Click on the thumbnails for a larger image.
