1st of all thanks for visiting my website!

I was born in East Yorkshire, England in 1972 and currently live in Angus, Scotland. My parents introduced me to wildlife at a young age, with trips to such places as Spurn Point, Bempton Cliffs and the Farne Islands. Fond memories! As well as a keen interest in wildlife, scenery and particularly birdlife, I have also been taking photographs since the age of 10, when I saved up and bought my first SLR camera, an Olympus OM10.

Since 2003 I’ve used digiscoping. (Fixing a digital camera to a Spotting Scope.) I’ve enjoyed that because distance from your subject is less of an issue. Although enjoyable, looking at images from such talented bird photographers as Markus Varesvuo & Kit Day, it was clear that the overall image quality of digiscoping are not as good as Digital SLR and flight shots are nigh-on impossible! So in 2007 I finally bought a Digital SLR and am enjoying using that very much.

I don’t profess to be an amazing photographer but enjoy it and as you can see from my resume webpage, I have even been fortunate enough to have a few photos published. Over the last 15 years, travel and photography has become a huge interest. Discovering the nature and vistas of other countries always offers something new, exciting and unexpected.
