Retired from the RAF; left winger and woke. I like to spend my time photographing wildlife in the UK or wherever life takes me.
My favourite garden bird; Song Thrush tucking in to a strawberry in our garden.

Visited Edinburgh Zoo as part of my grandson's birthday celebrations. Not a great zoo lover, always feel sorry for the animals; but did get a nice shot of a tiger.

I drilled some holes in my garage door frame last year to encourage the Red Mason Bees. Glad to see some bees emerge and looks like there'll be more next year :-)

Been trying for years to get decent shots of the local Marsh Harriers. Managed these in May last year, but was disappointed with the lack of sharpness. Hoping 2025 proves more successful.

I took this a few years ago, when on holiday in the States. One of my favourite wildlife photos. She just sat and ignored us; it was a wonderful experience.
