Ready with a knot for the prey…The Impaler, Shrike.This one looks cute but tiny vicious killer in the bird world, impale their victims bodies on thorns, the spikes on barbed-wire fences, or any available sharp point. This helps them to tear the flesh into smaller, more conveniently-sized fragments, and serves as a cache so that the shrike can return to the uneaten portions at a later time. This one is surfing for its prey waiting at the dining table…

- Use Light Creatively July 18, 2026Sit 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.

- Ethics Matter July 18, 2026When 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.
