I noticed my garden pond was frozen and that led me into thinking about the life of fish in freshwater.

Having just sold a picture at a good price I remember photographing a Kingfisher for a very specific commission. I had to manipulate the bird to do exactly what I wanted it to do - and where I wanted it to do it!

Whilst a bird or a mammal thinks it is helping itself, it is actually doing exactly what the plant intended. Nature is full of tricks and little miracles as long as we retain out enthusiasm to enjoy them.

In response to your questions I chat about my work as a nature and wildlife photographer and enthuse about capturing a good mountain scene.

A recent sale of pictures encourages me to reflect on a wonderful photo shoot on a Greek island, when I photographed Loggerhead Turtles underwater.

As spring progresses here in England the crow family of birds are well underway with their nests. But what is happening in other parts of the natural world?

Today catkins are dangling on the trees, shedding their pollen in an attempt to establish the next generation of trees. But I also look back to my first photographs entered in camera club competition; then look forward to a Canadian photo shoot.

Wherever I am privileged to travel in the world, I usually go with a ‘wish-list’. It is usually an animal or plant that typifies the area in my imagination, or is just something a bit different to anywhere else.

For some reason frogs have captured my imagination on this occasion! They are fascinating creatures and many species are found all over the world. Oh; and they can be easy subjects for photography!

I visited a local nature reserve to do some photography and found myself musing about the differences in ducks! I also remembered an amusing moment in Africa!
