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.

Coronavirus
Coronavirus restrictionists are for two weeks it means I can only go out to walk the dog or go to the supermarket
but I think that will be extended.
My photographic plans for this year are on hold, I will be able to photograph some birds in the garden.

I can fall back on macro photography so all is not lost.
Stay at home
With France on lockdown no chance of getting out with my camera it's garden safari time.
That was the plan however following some landscaping in the garden my attention has been switched to reinstatements.
