Both members of the Kendall household have had the privilege of meeting him. My first encounter was as a geology student at Leicester University all the way back in 1981 when he wished me happy birthday and signed my copy of Life on Earth extended edition I'd had as a present during my A level time

As Dr David Attenborough (as he was then) wished me a happy birthday when he signed my book back in 1981when I was a student at his old family home (Leicester University), I thought it would be polite to wish him the same today. #sirdavidattenborough

Blorenge, but not Orange.. It's a Hill in (old) South #Wales and it was a bit misty and overcast so the sky looked boring in colour, so I think it looked better in #BlackandWhite #Olympus #OMsystem #B&W #Landscape #Landscapephotography

Here's a couple of the cast in Nottingham in 2017. I could not get far enough for a decent angle in the photograph. They kindly provided a mirror as an alternative view which worked quite well

Why not use the original reconstruction by Rhian Kendall. I know how much effort she put into it and IMO (I may be biased) anyone creating another work based on this should be crediting her even though the original was put into the public domain it would be polite to do so

Thus time of year (in the northern hemisphere anyway) the leaves take on an even greater level of interest IMO. Some of the trees are already dropping probably due to drought stress Interesting in colour, but I lke it in B&W as well #OMsystem #Olympus #B&W #trees #nature #autumn

Time to cut the hedge as the birds have finished nesting... What's this? My research suggests it's a field mouse nest (empty I checked carefully). I put it back a bit lower after cutting in case it was still useful to someone #wildlife #mammals #mouse

Even in colour and in the natural sunshine this red feed bucket stood out amongst the flood deposited driftwood and rubbish. The "colour Splash" technique isn't one I usually use, but it felt right for this picture #OMsystem #Olympus #LandscapePhotography
