  ‘With an expression that seems like we are scowling, Known as the masters in the art of prowling, Some do give a sign of their presence with a screech,  Definitely we prefer homes that are out of human’s reach, Maybe in the woods, scraps or an old building, Whichever suits a perfect spot for hiding, If our choices make you wary, Life otherwise for us will be scary, The ability to turn our heads around, Keeps us away from dangers that can hound, Our piercing look is haunting as some may say,  But that helps us fix our focus on our prey, Sometimes funny or uncanny, you might find our bobbing act, That’s a way to adjust our vision as a matter of fact, There is much more you can know about us, If you let go of all that eerie fuss, Persecuted for centuries as a representative of bad omens and death, It’s time for you to change this blind faith, There are many more things that need your attention, Stop indirectly harming us with rodent poison and pollution, For your pests our clan provides a solution, Far better than the chemicals which lead your race into the path […]

  • Norfolk Spring Tides September 2, 2026
    The Norfolk Spring tides are the biggest and best tides for witnessing the thousands of birds feeding on the mudflats, being pushed closer to shore. During this event most if not all of the estuary is consumed by the sea and submerged underwater. Out on the mud and sand flats you’ll see thousands of wading […]

  • Wild Red Deer Rut August 18, 2026
    The heaths and moors of the Peak District are an eerie exposure of peat covered moorland sitting about 600m above sea level. Large wind carved eroded rocks sit among vast plateaus and rock formations supporting a healthy population of wild Red Deer. Red Deer are the largest land mammal in the UK, easily recognised by […]

  • Use Light Creatively July 18, 2026
    Sit in the same position for an hour and you’ll see just how quickly light changes. The direction of light will dramatically affect the way shadows fall in a scene within nature or on a subject. The word “Photography” comes from Greek word meaning to write or draw with light. Lighting can transform an image, adding […]

  • Ethics Matter July 18, 2026
    When photographing wildlife I am trying to document wild behaviour, something that occurred naturally. I am not trying to create something that was fake and contrived. You can’t get privileged views of wildlife and their behaviour unless you are either unnoticed or ignored. Make the subject completely at ease should be your aim, they shouldn’t […]

  • Wild Encounters July 5, 2026
    My images represent an event that occurred in the wild something that I witnessed and recorded with my camera. My skill lies in interpreting and presenting this in a way that invokes beauty, mood and emotion with each moment captured. Showing the beauty of the natural world and how it can heal and add such […]

  • Connecting People With Nature June 19, 2026
    Connecting people with nature that is what I do. It means nothing to me what awards you have won, how many followers or likes you have. How you treat nature tells me all I need to know about you. As a photographer I try to inspire people by showing them things they may never get […]

  • Dipper Project May 24, 2026
    Working on your own projects is a great way of learning more about your chosen subject, while becoming a better wildlife photographer I firmly believe. Learning how the light changes at different times of day, when wildlife is most active and much more through time spent in the field. You will also learn so much about […]

  • Conservation With A Camera May 8, 2026
    Using my camera I try and show not only the beauty of the natural world but also the suffering within that world. My hope is to give all those species a true and meaningful voice around the world with my photographs. Even though I have to walk away from them I want my images to […]
