Not one to win the prettiest bird category! This Double-crested cormorant sat at the waterside after gorging itself on fish. As some birds in warmer climates are unable to sweat or pant in hot weather, they open their mouths and flutter their upper t
What started off as a battle of aggression seemed to evolve into a display of artistic poses. These two Willets fought in the shallow water, totally unaffected by the beach goers that walked close by. It's not often that you get to photograph such a
Most of my white background images are photographed using a field studio and flash. This image however, was captured using natural light and the subject was high up in the canopy of the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica. Similar in size to a turkey, this l
I have spent the last few mornings @hengistburyhead photographing the wide variety of birdlife that you can see there. The crisp morning light just after sunrise really helps to bring colours to life, such as this adult male greenfinch perched on bra
It was only a couple of miles from the park entrance before I encountered my first wild grizzly bear. The image shows a mother grizzly bear standing upright to watch her two cubs safely cross the road. Taken with a Canon 500mm lens and a 1.4 tele c
Meet the velvet ant (Mutilla europaea)- which is actually a wasp. As a parasitoid of other insects, they spend part of their lives inside the body of their host. Their hosts can range from ground dwelling bees, flies, butterflies and beetles. The fem

Its not often that I to get to be up close and personal with wild subjects like this double-crested cormorant. Being able to use a macro lens offers a unique perspective compared to shooting form a distance with a telephoto lens. #wildlifeperfection

These brightly coloured insects are simply know as "red bugs" or "cotton stainers". I photographed them back in 2010 as I passed them on a boardwalk. They seemed to rely on safety in numbers and would scatter if disturbed, before
I felt lucky enough to see grizzly bears in the wild let alone photograph them, especially with cubs. #cubs #grizzlybear #grandteton #naturephotography #bears #bearsofinstagram #cute #travel #travelwild #americanwest #travelamerica #roadtrip #superc

I have been documenting the life cycle of a frog on and off for a few years. Every year you get small window of opportunity to document a stage or a few stages of the cycle. If you miss it, you have to wait another year until that particular stage co
Slow-worms always make interesting shapes. By diffusing the light you can emphasise the contours of their smooth scaled bodies. #dorset #heathland #dorsetheathland #reptiles #hasselblad #hasselbladx1d #xcd90 #x1d50c #naturephotography

Last September I was commissioned to photograph a panorama to be used as the main feature in a brand new kitchen. The image was to be set behind a glass splash back that ran behind the entire kitchen unit. The desired landscape was pretty much a 180&
A sea otter doing what they do best. Most of the time this otter would surface with mussels but on this occasion it found a crab - which made for a more pleasing photo. #california #ottersofinstagram #otter #crablegs #seaotter #cuteanimals #chillin
The reddish egret is one of my favourite birds to photograph in Florida. They are very elegant in how they hunt for food. They use their wings like a parasol to shade the water in order to see through the surface reflection. To get the picture I had
