I am a South Yorkshire based amateur photographer, I would say I am wildlife biased but I suppose that’s the beauty of being amateur it means I can try my hand at anything!

The purpose of the website is to allow me to show a few of my favourite images and also give a bit of a background story to each of them, I suppose bring them to life.

All images are of wild birds and animals, none are at paid for hides, some are from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and RSPB sites but even at these places a lot of time and effort is put into finding the wild creatures and trying to get the best shots (I am not one for having the bird wheeled out and put in front of me to pose!).

Hope you enjoy the pics and please leave feedback.
