A passion for bird photography & conservation

As an amateur photographer I'm passionate about bird photography

The experience of watching wildlife is not only a joy in itself but capturing that moment in a photograph is just a total thrill

I built this site to share those moments with you and really hope you enjoy them…

My portfolio

​My portfolio doesn't have a definitive style or focus on any one particular group of birds. It also doesn't try to be anything that it really isn't, so everything you see is just what I saw at the time. 

​While of course the images have had some post processing, I try to keep it to a minimum and will only brighten the dull, smooth a little noise when necessary and trust the sharpness of the lens, a fast shutter speed and a bit of technique for the rest.

They certainly aren't all perfect, but really it's about the experience of the moment rather than striving for the ultimate in image quality.

Hmm, maybe I'd be lying if I said that wasn't the goal, but then my killer get out clause for a less than perfect shot is always 'hey I'm only an amateur'.

Take a look

  • by the sea

  • by rivers, lakes, estuaries

  • in the countryside

  • in my garden

I'm also passionate about conservation, in particular the protection of threatened species and their habitats
