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.

To get the shots I had to use 500m with x 2 converter on a 7Dmk 2
they could be sharper but they are what they are.

Little Owl
On the morning walk with the dog I always take my camera as there is always something to see.

I found this Viper crossing the road near my house and had to put it in my shoe so I could take it home to photograph it.

After taking lots of photographs of the Viper I took it down to my woods and let it go.
