Welcome to my website featuring original Wildlife, Nature and Landscape images (plus a few other subjects) from around the UK - I hope you'll find something of interest and if it's Kingfisher photos you're looking for you've certainly come to the right place as I believe I have one of the most comprehensive collections of Kingfisher images available anywhere.

Please note that none of my wildlife photographs have been taken at zoos, animal rescue centres, safari or so-called 'wildlife' parks, falconry/bird of prey centres or similar establishments. I have very little enthusiasm for taking photographs of captive subjects and there are none on this website - apart from the few images featuring in my 'Pets, Livestock & Domesticated Animals' and 'Country Pursuits' Galleries.

In my opinion, true 'Wildlife Photography' - as opposed to the more broadly defined term 'Nature Photography' - is all about capturing images of creatures that are wild and free and with the essential elements of good fieldcraft skills, some knowledge of the subject's behaviour/habitat and infinite patience usually playing a major part. I should add that for me the 'golden rule' of Wildlife Photography is that the interests and wellbeing of the subject MUST always come first.

All of the images on the site are available to purchase and full details of the various formats, sizes and prices, etc can be found on the 'Photo Purchases' page.

Incidentally, this website contains only a tiny proportion of my 45,000+ image library, so if you're looking for a particular image/subject not displayed on here please do get in touch as I may be able to help.

I hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do, why not bookmark the site by using the RSS facility - see bottom right of any page - to be informed of updates and additions. And please do feel free to add comments either in the Guestbook or on the individual Gallery pages.

....and don't forget to check out the 'Exhibitions (& other Events)' page - see menu alongside - for details of current and forthcoming Exhibitions, etc.

"The sight of a Kingfisher is a basic human right. You need to see one at least once if you wish to understand the planet we happen to live on. If you have not had the pleasure of seeing a ripping blue arrow skate the surface of the water, you have been deprived of something very important. It is not necessary to be a committed birdwatcher, you just need to be committed to such ideas as beauty and wonder and glory and a nice walk. And that impossible streak of iridescence brings all these things to a casual, chatting stroller in a fragment of a second. They are special birds....." - Simon Barnes - multi-award-winning chief sportswriter for the Times. He is also a novelist, nature writer and the author of a dozen books, including How to be a Bad Birdwatcher, A Bad Birdwatcher's Companion & How to be Wild
