This is my diary of the wildlife where I live in Oxfordshire, and sometimes the places I visit. I am a 16 year old young naturalist with a passion for British wildlife, especially Badgers and Hares. I have been blogging since May 2013 and you can read my old blog posts at www.appletonwildlifediary.blogspot.co.uk

Looks like a good time. Snorkeling is excellent and accessible to so many people. I keep meaning to get out in one of our freshwater lakes to look around. Seems I have a prejudice that it’s a saltwater activity !
Cheers. I’m actually trying to decide between getting one or the other (underwater housing for my nikon DSLR or GoPro). Is the GoPro any good for taking pictures?
I recognised this immediately as I think I went to London to see the exhibition. Pretty inspiring – not sure you’d catch me in a canopy of that scale though! Thanks for the advice.
Getting your head under water opens up a whole new world. Great shots!

We stayed at a lake a couple of years ago and snorkelled there. Great views of a pike.

The best way to see marine life. What is it you’re using to get the underwater pics?

The film was taken using a GoPro. The photos taken with a Fuji Finepix F500 with an underwater housing

Gopros are great for taking photos. Someone won a major competition with a Gopro photo. Although I definitely need practice with mine. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-37693214
