Weasel and Sand Martin
With wildlife filming it is always the unexpected event that gives you most satisfaction and none more so than last week when I was filming my local Sand Martins I was deeply engrossed in their comings and goings when there was a sudden movement in the lowest hole. It was a Weasel and in less than a second I had two photos to add to my wildlife collection.It was a first for me in more than sixty years of wildlife filming and the good news was that the Weasel failed to capture any of the Sand Martins.

There is no doubt that the ultimate challenge for any wildlife photographer in the Pennines is to find and photograph the Nightjar.In more than 60 years of searching I have only seen three nests but last week I was able to add a fourth to the list. Even more challenging was the fact that the female Nightjar was brooding a young that was almost her size and equally as camouflaged. I was able to approach them both for photos and now realise why it is years since I was in this privileged position which I might never experience again. www.facebook.com/gordonyateswildlife
