I’ve been trying to track down a dragonfly for weeks and today there were five cycling overhead. Luckily this one decided to take a break for me to sneak up.

Spend most of the day with a pint in my hand but couldn’t let this amazing sky slip though the system!

I always say it, because it’s true, but this has to be one of the best bays in Guernsey. No sand but very rarely more than a handful of people here at once and in the eight years I’ve been coming down here regularly, probably only seen about 10 people max!

Feeling a lack of inspiration today so this hoverfly had to do!

Tried to find something little different this year at the North Show. All th stunt acts were great but I needed a challenge. Spotted this lady (who is a Guiness record holder) bring out some amazing bubbles.

I pulled up to say hi to a chicken (as you do) and all of a sudden an army of them came running over!

My biggest fear is being stranded at sea in a storm, which terrifies me. Spiders, I don’t have a problem with but I know more than enough people who would run across lava to get away from them.
It’s about to get a lot busier on the ground as the autumn crops in!

There was a good 20 minutes of amazing colour transformation this morning. I was headed to the south coast but didn’t have enough time. One of my favourites from this year I think.

Busy day island hopping to Jersey but just about managed to find some energy to head out to see what Mother Nature had to offer.

Every year I’ve seen posts of Swallowtail sightings but I haven’t seen one in over 7 years in France. Today the opportunity came up to see one, albeit in caterpillar form. Still, these are stunning (and rare) butterflies in Guernsey.

Deep orange background from the early morning sun, these swallows were just crying out for a silhouette.

The sun was hiding for most of the day so I went on a mission to find a sunflower. I found hundreds in the end. Added little cinematic twist to the edit to spice things up a bit!

Took a drive in search of some large clusters of sunflowers. Came back with a shot a Golden Guernsey goat.

They eat poop and in reality, they are a pain in arse but when you look at the colours it’s easy to seem past that and appreciate how cool nature can be.

The idea was to get a shot of the cruise ship but it was taking way too long and the light was turning quickly. Still always nice to watch the sunrise down here.

Seeing this guy fishing at sunrise made me really want to take it up another pass-time. But, for now I will stay behind the camera and prepare for hopefully a dramatic autumn and winter!

Pre lunch swim down the pools with the kids. Scouted the new details for a shot and added Finley for scale.

Took Finley to Petit Port for the first time in his 8 years on earth and he loved it! We paddled round from Moulin Huet and took some time to soak up the rays before heading back. Must have been about 20 yachts moored up between the two bays, some stunners from France rocked up as well.
