December 11, 2023
Friends are the oxygen of contentment in the christmas pickled onions of your brief existence on this lovely blue planet, we call home.

Night Moves, Purring Crickets and Goatsuckers
July 12, 2023
Very privileged to be shown a nightjar spot on Exmoor. Night jars arrive from Africa in the spring and are gone by late August, ancient folk tales refer to them as goat suckers as they were meant to steal milk from your goats at night. In actual fact they eat mostly moths and bugs. In […]
All aboard the Skylark

February 19, 2023
So much went wrong with my plans to just wander around the planet and take photographs of nature to make people aware of what a wonderful planet we are privileged to live on, and make a million pounds (Rodney) on the way. But. I think I’ve finally managed to get on top of things and […]
