New stuff

Otters, snakes, meerkats, lemurs etc

Taken on a beautiful, icy, blue sky winter's morning at the Otter and Butterfly sanctuary in Buckfastleigh, South Devon and on an overcast day at the Shaldon Wildlife Trust.

6am, Richmond Park on a misty morning

Too early for coffee even (!), I wandered through the bush, often lying on my belly to photograph the rutting red stags, listening to their roaring, with only gathering females for themselves on their minds.

Garden birds

Photographing the birds in the garden

I love sitting quietly in the garden with nothing more than a cup of strong coffee and my camera, watching the garden birds come and go to the feeders I fill almost daily. I've learnt the behaviours of the different birds and how different species have varying tolerances of my presence. I enjoy when they move over a perfect background, enabling me the chance of capturing the moment.

A random collection of more bird photography

These photographs are mostly of birds in the UK, although some are further afield. Gulls and other seabirds around the South Devon coast are always fun to photograph and I love watching their behaviours (except when they brazenly steal chips and ice-creams). Wherever I go I am always on the lookout for birds of any kind..
