In October I visited Alkborough Flats - a little nature reserve close to Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire to hopefully capture some images of Bearded Reedlings - scarce and shy little birds with a lot of character!

In July 2024, I booked onto an RSPB cruise from Bridlington out to the Flamborough coast to view the various sea birds from sea level - A unique view!

A summer wander around YWT Staveley looking for wildlife

One very early morning in June I ventured to the east coast of Yorkshire to my favourite nature reserve…RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Here is a gallery of some of the wildlife seen during the sunrise - well worth getting there at 4am!

A gallery of my favourite shots of the Short-Eared Owls that visited the Yorkshire coastline over the winter. One of my favourite birds that I just had to make the most of in this influx year of migration! I just can’t get enough!

During another trip to the Cairngorms national park in August ‘23 it was noticeable how many different colours there were! As summer makes way to autumn and the flora and fauna change. Here is a round up of my trip!

Just into the county of Suffolk lies the former arable land of Lakenheath Fen. What used to be carrot fields has been transformed by the RPSB into vast wetlands and woodlands boasting stunning and rare wildlife. The last stop on my weekend wildlife trip!

During a short wildlife break to north Norfolk, I was only 20 minutes away from RSPB Titchwell Marsh, a nature reserve with varied habitats such as fresh water lagoons, saltmarshes, coastal and reedbed. A hive of insect activity in summer and an important breeding site for Avocet, Bittern and Bearded Tits…

One of the UK’s major wildlife spectacles occurs only a few times a year on the north Norfolk coast at Snettisham. Famed for its winter “Whirling Wader” spectaculars which only happen at super high tide events. I tried one of these dates in the summer as part of a wildlife weekend away!

A trip to a fantastic photography hide near Blairgowrie in the Cairngorms to capture Red Squirrel and the elusive Pine Marten!

Whilst visiting the Isle of Mull off the west coast of Scotland, I took a little boat trip to the tiny uninhabited island of Staffa to get up close to some Puffins!

Albert, The Black Browed Albatross is a very rare vagrant bird, thousands of miles from home and its own kind, It is the only one in the northern hemisphere and probably the loneliest bird in the world.
