I am pleased to announce this photo of mine has made it through to the public voting stage of the British Photography Awards! So if you like it please please please go over to their website and vote for it (link at the bottom of this description). Or any of the other photos if you prefer of course 😂. Also, if you want to see how I got this shot, head over to my YouTube channel and watch my focus stacking video (even though this isn't focus stacked 😂) https://www.britishphotographyawards.org/2019-Shortlist/Macro/In-the-spotlight/ee84042b-d56f-459d-bf19-417af7965587 #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macro #macrophotography #britishphotographyawards #rspb_love_nature #drgonfly #damselfy #bug #bugsofinstagram #insectsofinstagram #insect #cute #composition #spotlight #wild #closeup #photo #nofilter #canonuk #england #british #nature #naturephotography #bbcearth #earthonlocation

Bam! I am pleased to announce that my photo of this awesome parasitic wasp (ephialtes manifestator) laying eggs in a host was highly commended in this year's @bwpawards . Also thank you to @robertcanis for kindly taking this photo 😊. And yes, that is a photo of me, a rarity on my Instagram, but don't worry, it only happens on special occasions 😉 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #macro #macrophotography #canonuk #london #mallgalleries #trafalgarsquare #award #happpy #chuffed #excited #achivement #dream #behaviour #awesome #biology #rspb_love_nature #bwpa #instagram #print #colour #sigma #orange #insect #bug #creepycrawly

Some people like to say that British wildlife is dull and plain. I like to think that its a actually very much beautiful. A prime example of this is the blue tit. Which I hope a lot of you agree with as you voted to see a photo of it. For me, this delicate little bird bathing in my garden pond can rival any resplendent jungle plumage. Though admittedly I am a little biased 😁. More photos, including high speed shots of birds washing in the pond can be found on my You Tube channel (link in bio).

Good day dear people. I have news. I am moving! I have a new job in a new area and hope to be able to bring you all much more content in the future. More videos, photos and all that jazz! As well as future collaborations with some awesome people, including @wjwnature @thatbharris @elliotjoneswildlife @roxythezoologist @willshudson25 @thedronelad and hopefully many more. I will keep this location a secret until my first video in a few months time so please bare with me until then 😂. This may also mean photos from projects you already know about (like this ringed plover) until I am able to get out and explore my new area. So if you haven't already, head over to my YouTube channel and subscribe! Also, did you know that Ringed Plovers will pretend to be injured to lure predators away from nests, then fly away at the last minute... how cool is that!

Good day dear people! Earlier this week I got the urge that I am sure most of us have had at one time or another. I needed to get out! Unfortunately I didn't have much time so I dashed down to my local @rspb_love_nature nature reserve. I arrived just in time for golden hour but there wasn't much about. The only potential subjects were a group of swans. Thankfully, just as the sun was setting, they took and interest in me and began feeding next to me. This meant that I was shooting almost directly into the sun. So I raised me shutter speed and dropped my ISO and fired away each time they lifted their head from the water. Eventually I came away with this. Something a bit different to my usual stuff. So if you haven't been out in a while I encourage you to do so, even if you think there is just common stuff about, you may be surprised with what you come back with. 1/800 ISO 125 F/4 500mm Canon 5Div #pmgridchallenge #autumn #wildlife #wild #wildlifephotorapher #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #bbcearth #EarthOnLocation #earthcapture #beautiful #orange #silhouette #goldenhour #sunset #sunrise #wildlife_shots #outdoorphotomag #photooftheday📷 #photoofthemonth #photooftheweek #apphotooftheweek #amateurphotographymag #natgeoyourshot #RSPB_love_nature #wildlifetrusts #swan

Good day dear people! So as has been pointed out by a subscriber to my #youtube channel, I often find myself referring to plan B. I took a new wide angle lens with me to #bushypark with @lara_wildlife to try and get a very specific deer shot I had in mind. Instead I had to settle with trying it out on some unexpected company at lunch.
