Revealing The Hidden Wild
A Bit About Me…
Welcome to my website. I am a UK-based professional wildlife photographer with over 15 years experience, dedicated to capturing the natural world and bringing people closer to nature through my images.
Beyond my photography, my focus is on SW Wildlife Monitoring, where I partner with landowners, farmers, and conservation charities across the UK, installing camera-equipped nest boxes to reveal the hidden world of native birds of prey. This not only gives people a rare glimpse into their secret lives but also provides crucial data for conservation and highlights the beauty of our often-unseen wildlife.
If you want to support this valuable work, please consider a donation through Buy Me a Coffee. Your contribution directly funds our next nest box build and camera installation, helping us expand this vital project and provide valuable nest sites for some of our rarest birds.
