I started out as a general photographer many years ago but I have always had a particular passion for wildlife and in particular raptors. I have worked with numerous organisations including The Hawk and Owl Trust and the National Rivers Authority in England, developing networks for the movement of raptors and advising on habitat and nest sites. Many years ago following the move to Scotland I became  a member of the Scottish Raptor Study Group, monitoring a range of species. I was a member of the Sports Journalists Association and also a photographer for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 and a contributor to a number of monthly clay shooting magazines. We lived for many years on the West Coast and I spent my days in the mountains and on the sea, I have the 5 star paddler award and was an active member of Oban Mountain Rescue Team. Wildlife photography and film making now takes me to these places again and this is where I am at my most content. To take people into these wild places  so they can experience what the wilderness can give you brings me the greatest pleasure and satisfaction

 

I never take for granted how fortunate I am to have my passion as my profession.
