PHOTOGRAPHY: THE NATION'S FAVOURITE



Robins are apparently the nation's favourite garden bird. Maybe this is because of their plumage, or perhaps  it has something to do with their quirky personalities. Despite their size, they can be very bold. The robin in the photo above thought nothing about entering through the back door several times and making off with dog biscuits. Strange diet!

PHOTOGRAPHY: WANDSWORTH PARK



Located between Putney and Wandsworth, Wandsworth Park is - perhaps - not the most interesting of parks in London, despite having some special views of the Thames. The thing that I like most about the park are the lines of trees, which give it a rather eerie feel on freezing cold January mornings.

PHOTOGRAPHY: DESTINATION BURNLEY



Yesterday was spent in the North West of England; in Burnley, to be precise. I went to see Queens Park Rangers take on relegation rivals, Burnley, and, quite frankly, wish I had not bothered. The highlight was Charlie Austin scoring again (see photo above), but it ended in yet another away defeat in yet another toothless and idealess away performance. QPR, at least we can say, are consistent away from home... Consistently atrocious!
