Favourite Images of 2022

Suzy Shipman

I enjoyed a browse through my photos taken in 2022 to find my favourites for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, and while there were not as many as there have been in previous years, there were still lots that reminded me of happy and exciting moments.

Cuckooflower
Can’t have a review of the year without one of my favourite spring flowers – the Cuckooflower
Wood Anemone
And the Wood Anemones that I look forward to each year
Snake's Head Fritillary
And my Snake’s Head Fritillary in my garden that keeps coming back each year with more flowers!
Common Lizard
And what about the Common Lizards I saw at Cors Caron last year?
Common Lizard
Including this particularly green lizard
Beautiful Demoiselle (immature male)
Also at Cors Caron, this lovely Beautiful Demoiselle
Tiddlywink
And I can’t look back at 2022 without including our 2 new fur babies we got in May after sadly losing Bob right at the start of the year. This one is Tids (or Tiddlywink)
Tabatha
This one is Tabs (or Tabatha)
Golden-ringed Dragonfly (female) by my pond :)
Sometimes the wildlife came to me, like this gorgeous Golden-Ringed Dragonfly who dropped into my garden
Yellow Loosestrife
Also in the garden the Yellow Loosestrife put on a beautiful spread of bright cheerful yellow
Marsh Helleborine (Epipactis palustris)
There were some firsts this year, like this Marsh Helleborine
The first cricket I have ever seen! (not the greatest photo, but proves I saw it!)
And my first ever Cricket!
Antler Moth (Cerapteryx graminis)
And this pretty little Antler Moth
Red Kite
Got to include some photos of the amazing birds of prey at the British Birds of Prey Centre too – this one is a Red Kite
European Eagle Owl
And this splendid European Eagle Owl
Golden Eagle
And finally the piercing stare of the Golden Eagle!

Looking forward to more photos to come in 2023 🙂
