Wandering around looking for clouds and puddles
Woody Peckers
There’s quite a few woodpeckers hanging around the Longlands valley. You can hear them early doors, in March the hollow hammer drill drum of the nest excavations often make you wonder if they get headaches. They are also frequent bird table visitors and although the green woodpecker is a little bit more shy, it was […]

Escape to Exmoor
May 27, 2019
Every now and then you need to get away. Sometimes you didn’t even know that you needed to get away until you actually do it. Away from traffic, work, politics, shopping and the fraught treadmill of daily life. Back to basics and immersed in the natural world, escaping modern life and hiding in an obscure […]
A place in the sun
May 18, 2019
Blue sky, pumping surf and no-one out, what more do you want? Stoked to get one of these in the latest issue of Carve Magazine, there’s some great work in the magazine that celebrates it’s 25th anniversary this year. Great article by Vaughnie in the last issue (#194) about surfing the Cribbar and by Sharpy […]

I live in North Devon which has got plenty of space, big beaches, big cliffs and Exmoor on the doorstep, plenty of big sky experiences to make you feel free and wild, and connected. It’s a thing we take for granted, that is those of us who live here. But, Caithness. You want big skies […]

Always a pleasure to get some Lundy stamps, especially when it’s ‘delivered by helicopter’, and it is always pleasure to receive a free copy of the Lundy calendar!! Whoop, whooop, (not that I’m much of a cheapskate, much, hmmm but your christmas pressy is sorted Mum)….. Anyway, anyway. It is a monumental challenge to get […]

Kestrel on Hartland Point
March 11, 2019
Being at heart an action-sports photographer. (In a previous life I was a professional surf photographer for 15 years). And now learning the dark arts of landscape photography, it is always a pleasure to bump into some wildlife and getting a buzz from frantically doing the maths and changing settings to shoot at high shutter […]

Summer in winter and Stoneycroft
March 3, 2019
As storm Freya rattles the windows here at home in north Devon, Ive finally managed to process some photos of a trip to Lundy in the unseasonably warm and calm February sunshine of early spring 2019. We, the fab four (a random group of Lundyphiles ), take the short helicopter ride to the island every […]

February 20, 2019
One of the many joys of a trip to Lundy is a Peregrine Falcon sighting. There are up to half a dozen pairs resident on the island and it is not unusual to get a fleeting glance of a Peregrine as it patrols the cliffs around the island. They are quick and shy; and this […]
