Hello and welcome
I have always had a keen interest in wildlife and the great outdoors;
I was an Angler for over 30 years but gave it up a few years ago to
concentrate on photographing wildlife. I lived in Runcorn; Cheshire a
short distance from the M56 that gave me great access to the Wirral,
Northwales and Lancashire, with some great countryside on my doorstep
I didn't have to travel too far in search of wildlife and photographic
opportunities.
Some of my wildlife photographs range from as far afield as Cuba,
Antigua, Saint Martin, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Tuscany ,
Corfu, Turkey, Spain, Portugal.
I now live in the Charente area of western France.

Foxy Lady
I ran into an old friend as I wondered around my local nature reserve, she has some damage to one of her ears
but otherwise she looks in good condition.
In the past I have had her taking food from my hand but on this occasion she kept her distance from me staying about ten feet away,
which suited me as I only had the 500mm lens to use. She stayed with me for quite some time before I decided to move off and give her some space.
I will catch up with her again with a smaller lens and get some more photographs.
