There’s something almost prehistoric about the cormorant. With their piercing turquoise eyes, sharply hooked beaks, and that unmistakable wing-drying pose, they feel like throwbacks to another era. They might not have the glamour of a kingfisher or the drama of a bird of prey, but spend some time with them and you begin to see […]

  Barn owls (Tyto alba) have a certain magic about them. With their pale, heart-shaped faces and ghostly flight, they drift silently over the fields in search of prey. This particular encounter was with a completely wild male, in a spot I visit many times a year. It’s a four-hour drive from home, but every […]

There’s something about the stillness of an open field in early spring that always pulls me in. On this recent trip to Yorkshire, I was hoping to photograph some of the usual suspects; lapwings, skylarks, maybe even a barn owl if I was lucky. But what I hadn’t expected was to witness a dramatic moment […]

Every spring, for just a couple of fleeting weeks, the cherry blossoms bloom and every year, like clockwork, I become completely obsessed with capturing the perfect shot of blue tits among the pink flowers. There’s something about that contrast, the vivid blue and yellow plumage against the soft pastel blossoms, that feels almost dreamlike. But […]

Arguably Britain’s rarest breeding bird, the firecrest is a true gem—small, elusive, and flashing its fiery crown as it flits through dense foliage. For any wildlife photographer, capturing this bird is both a challenge and a thrill. Unlike some species that kindly sit still for a moment or two, the firecrest is constantly on the […]

Foxes are among the most intelligent and adaptable canids, thriving in a range of environments from bustling urban areas to quiet countryside landscapes. However, rapid human-driven changes have made life increasingly challenging for these clever creatures. As spring approaches, vixens work tirelessly to feed and protect their cubs, often venturing into unfamiliar territory in search […]

Wildlife photography has always been about more than just capturing images for me; it’s about the connection, the stories, and the emotions tied to those moments. That connection was profoundly felt on a recent winter morning in Somerset, where I spent time with a kestrel pair I’ve been observing for seven years. The day began […]

If you’ve been following my photography journey for a while, you might have noticed one bird that consistently appears in my work: the kingfisher. To me, these little birds are the perfect blend of grace, colour, and character. Kingfishers aren’t just subjects to photograph—they are one of my greatest inspirations. Whether you’re new to my […]

Imagine standing in the heart of the wild, surrounded by dense forest, the air thick with the scent of pine and earth, when suddenly, a massive shape emerges from the shadows. A brown bear, each one weighing at least 300kg, moves with a heavy grace that makes the ground beneath you tremble. This is the […]

Witnessing the graceful return of gannets to the UK shores is a breath-taking reminder of nature’s cyclical beauty. Their soaring flights and elegant dives speak of resilience and renewal, echoing the rhythm of the seasons.  There’s something magical about standing on the towering cliffs at Bempton, camera in hand, as thousands of gannets glide effortlessly […]
