PICTURES In response to a request for a higher-profile link to the various pictures that we have published in the past, we’ve gathered together on one page links to all the pictures we have been involved with since mid-2002 when we moved to our present host.

These are grouped into eight categories: Photo Comp   Wildlife   Profiles   Norman's Leaving Do   Other Events   Birds   Wellesbourne Past and Present   Wildlife in Indonesia Note that since we lost the site, some pages have not yet been restored, and pages from 2005 and earlier are not available. These will be shown with a grey background until I can get them restored (unless you're using Firefox or similar). Exceptions are Norman's do and Alicia's birds. Your webmaster is busy on other things at the moment, but watch this space for more of Simon's pictures. 2002 Photo Comp - a set of 4 pictures of Wellesbourne, presumably part of a competition. We featured a set of links to them over several months. Go there. Wildlife pictures - these are line drawings; Pam submitted one a month over a few months. For more of her sites see More About Wellesbourne. You can look at the picture on its own (enlarged in some cases) or in context.

We reported on her adventures in January and February 2004. Click on the Thumbnail to see a close-up image; click on the English Name for the original picture in context. Thumbnail English Name Latin Name Red-backed Thrush (16k) Zoothera erythronota Great-eared Nightjar (19k) Euristropodus macrotis Great-eared Nightjar at the Padi Fields, Tuesday 29th July '03 (28k) Euristropodus macrotis Crimson Sunbird (31k) Aethopyga siparaja Pale-bellied White-Eye - see NG article (28k) Zosterops consobrinorum Olive-backed Sunbird (34k) Nectarinia jugularis Yellow-sided Flowerpecker (33k) Dicaeum aureolimbatum You may be interested to know that the team Alicia worked with in Indonesia went on to some more islands and on one, Wangi Wangi, they may have discovered a new species, similar to the Pale-bellied White-Eye and the Lemon-bellied White-Eye (Zosterops chloris), but with slightly different markings and features; they are carrying out DNA tests to determine whether it is a new species. See the article “Mystery Bird Discovered...” in the National Geographic. Birds: Local - closer to home a Wellesbourne resident has sent in a picture of some thrushes. “Generally thrushes are scarce but in our garden we have frequently had one since January; in February we had two, and in March we have THREE - one on the table, one on the fence and one by the lamp.” Click on the Thumbnail to see a medium-sized image; click on the comment for a screen size image.

Well, here is a list of birds as spotted in a marshland in Charente Maritime, south west France, with their names in 5 languages.

Following the death in 2005 of Thom Watson, photographic duties are shared by Norman Biddington, Eric Lomax and Andy Sheppard, who runs a photo studio in Wellesbourne. If you can think of any more pictures you’d like to see on this site, please send them to me by any of the usual means: e-mail, disc, paper and I’ll get them published in due course. - Peter
