Essex & Herts Air Ambulance G-EHEM

I was on my way to Finchingfield, halfway between Elsenham & Thaxted the traffic was stationary, and I could see that the air ambulance was getting ready to take off. I took these few shots just as it lifted.   

G-EHEM is a McD-D Helicopters MD-900 

 “Since fundraising began in 1997, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance has flown over 20,000 missions, and is deployed, on average, six times per day. The helicopters and rapid response vehicles (RRV) are based at Earls Colne Airfield and North Weald Airfield”

More Birds at Hatfield Forest.

 A few shots from Hatfield Forest Lake, taken today. It was a cold grey day. 

Nature photography is not my natural subject, but this last year’s problems has made me look for new subjects. I have to say that I am really enjoying learning a new skill. I am not too good at naming the different species but that will come.

Marks Hall Arboretum

Today was my first visit to Marks Hall Arboretum since the start of the pandemic. It was good to be back, they have been doing a lot of work on making it safe for visitors to return.  A few shots taken at the lake, not too many birds there today.
