I first became interested in wildlife photography in early childhood, when my father introduced me to Cherry Kearton's "Adventures with Animals and Men". Thirty years later, I finally got round to buying a decent camera during a visit to the Scottish Highlands, hoping to capture some of the birdlife in that region. After spending a number of years concentrating on bird photography, I have now started taking pictures of different aspects of nature and the UK landscape and added a wider range of galleries.

New 10th January 2010 - I haven't had time to add any pictures for a while, so, as it's too cold to go out, I've put thirteen new images onto the Abstract page. I've also given Abbie the Airedale pride of place on the Home page, in recognition of her cleverness in winning a keg of beer in the Christmas raffle at "The Gerrard Arms", our excellent local pub!     

Later the same day - Lots of birds driven into the garden by the cold to eat the food we put out. Amongst them, a Fieldfare, a very handsome member of the Thrush family, that spends time in the UK - often in mixed flocks with Redwings - when the weather is particularly cold in Germany and Scandinavia. I've added a picture to Birds Page 3, but I took it through the bathroom window and the light was going, so it's a bit grainy.  

New 18th January 2010 - Added another nine abstracts.
