With the lockdown ongoing (at time of writing), there is a definite need to get out and about for the regulation one-a-day constitutional, and on these trips out, you can encounter endless wildlife.

One of my recent discoveries was the Shapwick Heath Nature Reserve – on deserted mornings, all you can hear is the wildlife around you, various birds chirruping and tweeting, interspersed with the occasional booming of the nesting bitterns.

The photos below are not limited to Shapwick Heath, but it provides the inspiration for the set of images.

This month’s Mass Observation post was well received, and in these weird and wonderful times, we all need a bit of colour!

Moving forward, the project for June has a new theme…

RANDOM

Who doesn’t like a bit of randomness? Interpret the theme as you will!

To take part, simply take a photo around the theme of random:

• Email the image to adayinphotographs@outlook.com by Sunday 31st May 2020.
• Images should be a maximum of 650 pixels wide.
• Include your name, website/blog address and a short note about the image, including where it was taken.
• Come back and see the results on Sunday 7th June!
