I'm a London based amateur photographer mostly taking photos of birds, animals, and flowers.

When I'm not taking photos I'm a freelance web and print designer working with a range of small businesses, not for profits, and individuals.
Some amazing rays of sunshine through a tree in New Zealand. Always look up!

Took a nerdy bird tour on Stewart Island in New Zealand where I spotted Variable Oystercatchers searching for snacks in the surf on the beach.

Evidence of kiwis on the beach on Stewart Island. Lucky enough to see them in the wild later that night too.

An adorable sleeping Binturong at Longleat. Wanted to give it a cuddle but I don't think it would have appreciated it!

Tiny but perfect, I was lucky enough to find the Dik-dik hiding in amongst the foliage at Longleat a few years ago.

A cold and frosty railing in Kew Gardens a few weekends ago.

Paperplant? Not sure, but very cool nonetheless!

From a trip to Lisbon a few years ago. I loved the colours on this small boat and the way it reflected in the calm of the water.

Happy Wednesday! I believe this is a Chinese Hibiscus but let me know if I'm wrong!🌸

To celebrate making it on to the Birds! feed, have a Nuthatch enjoying some time at a bird feeder at Wakehurst Place last summer.

Have a cheeky South Island Robin (Kakaruai) this Wednesday morning. These charming birds seemed completely fascinated by people whilst I was on a bird tour of Stewart Island, New Zealand a few years ago.

Came across these two foxes having a snooze in the sunshine at Kew Gardens at the weekend. Really unusual to see foxes there in the middle of the day and amazing to see two!

The sun was out but not enough to completely thaw out these plants. A gorgeous half frost coating!

My first Bluesky post! No idea who will see this but wanted to share some beauty. Winter may be cold but it is stunning.❄️
