As the sun set Short eared owls were gliding, diving and swooping elegantly against the blue sky. It was magical to see and a moment I found very special, especially in my home county. I do love winter as much as I love spring too. I’m impatien

The Warren…

I’ve found a love for a new British mammal, the rabbit. After spending many hours in their company I’ve gathered my thoughts and constructed a poem non poem. You could say a failed poem. But anyway there is a chance i

I’ve been looking back on my images and this shot from last years rut caught my eye. The light was beautiful as this stag became active at sunset, he was charging around with great power. Just look at that strong neck! Amazing creatures
