Otmoor…
A 1000 acres of nature reserve
A unique habitat of rare wetland
A home for wildlife....

Marsh Harriers., Terns., Bitterns., warblers and songbirds., flocks of Golden Plover., Cuckoo's., Turtle Doves., Woodpeckers., Barn Owl's., Cormorants., Ducks (various)., Snipe., Deer., Hare's., Geese., Heron's., Hobby's., Butterfly's and Dragonfly's., Not to mention a 100,000 Starling's in the winter.. etc etc etc

Uncrossed by any road since Roman times

Until now!

In its infinite wisdom the Government has decided to build a motorway between Oxford and Cambridge., and one of the four suggested routes would carve its way through this ancient and precious reserve

Otmoor is a conservation area that the government's own laws were designed to protect., but that same government has turned down a request for a public enquiry.,
Well they would wouldn't they!

The Dragonfly here doesn't have a vote and wont be campaigning on TV that its home is about to disappear under a layer of tarmac., and neither has any of the rest of the wildlife., you can exterminate them all and go to bed with a clear conscience., after all who cares?

There is an online petition., if you do have a conscience., and if you do care., it's not too late., please go to the link below... and get everyone you know to do the same

There are quite a few people on Flickr!

Guilty as charged!

We like so many others tend to get obsessed with getting those close., tight images

Have you noticed if you look through the portfolio's of 'genuinely acclaimed' professional wildlife photographers how few of their shots are in fact actually close and tight?

It's almost like they've done the close-up work., now lets introduce context., let's create an image that'll engage the viewer and hold their interest

Not for a moment are we suggesting this image is up there with the 'pro's'., but as Ann commented., she liked its simplicity and the she liked the setting
And I agreed., and it's a photographic 'direction' we'll be doing more of
