Winter Robin

Winter Robin
This image was achieved way back in January 2009 during a particularly hard winter. Snow is a real rarity in our village here in the south, so to get a few days worth was a dream come true.
It would have been so easy to have left the village for a bigger landscape and views that morning, but peering through the early morning wintery gloom, one little star was shining. I knew I had to spend that morning with one of our most iconic garden companions. So with no time to spare (way too excited on this morning), I quickly hatched a plan on how to capture a picture of my beautiful Robin in the snow. Little did I know how quickly this plan would go horribly wrong.

Resting Stag
Why?
To answer this question I have to turn back the clock many years reaching back to my childhood, when I use to spend countless hours, days even, just out and about discovering what nature was all about. I can still remember to this day my first Kingfisher sighting on the river, my first fox cubs playing in the late summer evening light in a meadow, and let's not forget my first Watervole sighting which lead to me falling in the stream (a story for another day).

For the Love of Highlands

I have to go back almost 35 years for my first memory of Highland cattle. Back then, as a youngster, I spent a lot of my time on and around farms. While having a cup of tea one day with a local farmer, I was browsing through farmers weekly, like you do, and I came across a fantastic picture of a Highland cow. Little did I know that this was to be the start of my passion and interest with this cattle breed. Still, it was to be quite a few years later that I met one up close and personal.....
