Introduction
I have produced this website for my own enjoyment and for the enjoyment of
others interested in birds and/or photography. I hope you find something of
interest here.
When I bought my digital SLR and lens in May 2004, I assumed that good quality
images would be easy to achieve. I never imagined how challenging photographing
birds would be! However, although many of the hours spent wandering the
countryside with my camera looking for likely subjects has been frustrating,
especially in the early days, they have been very happy hours.
This website contains my favourite images. I'm not saying they are all
technically without fault; far from it! But I hope that with time and
experience my images will improve and perhaps many of the images I now find
acceptable will eventually be replaced.
You should ideally have a broadband connection to view these images; otherwise
things may be slow. Having Javascript enabled (the default setting with most
browsers) will also speed up movement between galleries after the initial
download.
I hope you enjoy the site. Please use the

Site Information
Pictures are processed and uploaded as soon as possible after they are taken.
Pictures taken in the last 30 days can be seen on the
Latest images page.
You can submit your email address above and be notified when new images are
added.
The
My favourite images page
contains those pictures I am most pleased with. What makes a picture a
favourite? It may be that it is technically good - sharp and well exposed.
Alternatively, the circumstances in which a picture is taken may make a picture
special; the behaviour of the bird, for example, or the work that went in to
getting the picture. These are things that only I can really appreciate.
All my uploaded images can be found from the
All images page.
You can search by individual bird species, family, location, and / or
keyword.
The
Photographic locations page
lists and briefly describes the locations where the pictures were taken. The
page is not yet complete and I realise this is quite an undertaking. After the
time-consuming task of assessing and processing pictures, it requires a lot of
effort to update the locations page. I'm determined to complete the task,
however.
Please comment on the website and / or images via the
Contact me page.
I would welcome any criticisms, ideas, etc. It would be great to hear from you.
