About
I was brought up in rural Wales. As a boy I spent many hours fishing the River Wye or roaming the countryside watching birds and other wildlife. These early interests led me into a career in fisheries and then countryside management.
In March 2005 I escaped local government to get back in touch with nature and I have been spending alot of my time since then photographing nature.

My CV goes something like this:
- Born Cardiff 1953
- Grew up in Mid Wales
- Studied biology in Cardiff
- 15 years in fisheries as water bailiff, fish farmer & fishery gmanager
- Post graduate course in countryside management, gBangor 1989
- 20 years in countryside management as senior ranger and head of service. I am now retired and have plenty of time to practice my passion!

I have had success at national and international salons and hold Distinctions in photography with the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) and Welsh Photographic Federation (AWPF)

Gear and techniques:

Canon Digital SLR's and L lenses. I enjoy the fieldcraft in getting close to my subjects.
