My journey into wildlife photography began a few years ago during the Covid 19 lockdowns. My time spent walking the local woodland were incredibly therapeutic, and I slowly started to learn about the flora and fauna that I observed over the seasons. It gave me a renewed reverence for the environment.

It never really occurred to me how much unique and interesting life something like a small patch of woodland or a local river could hold, "wildlife" to me always felt like something distant, tropical or exotic, not something I could just walk by every day on the way to Tesco.

Ever since then I've been trying to learn more, and photograph as much as I can. My walks in nature continue to be a therapeutic respite from the screens we all spend too much time on.

This is a journal of my favourite photographs so far. I hope to expand my subjects, and travel the world to learn about, and photograph, more of the natural world.
