I started birding in Kent in the south-east of England and have had a passion for wildlife, particularly birds, from a very young age. In 2002 I began digi-scoping while out birdwatching using a Nikon Coolpix 995 and Swarovski 80HD.
I now use a Canon EOS 30D (18-55mm, 70-200mm & 100-400mm) and have had a number of images published in leading British wildlife magazines.
As well as birding in Kent I used to travel the length and breadth of the UK to find rare and new species to me and I've been fortunate enough to photograph the wildlife in many other countries; Poland, Sri Lanka, India, Australia and Canada, to name a few.
In 2007 I took up a Birdwatching Guide position on Stewart Island in Rakiura National Park. I now spend most days showing other birders New Zealand endemics on Ulva Island, as well as a variety of seabirds on pelagics in the Foveaux Strait.
In 2008 I won the Halfmoon Bay School fundraising calendar competition with a photograph of a Morepork fledgling. The photograph is featured on the front cover of the 2009 "Images of Rakiura" calendar.
My photographs have also been used to raise money for SIRCET (Stewart Island/Rakiura Community and Environment Trust) from the sale of greeting cards at The Fernery Gallery & Gift Shop on Stewart Island.

My Paddyfield Warbler photo was chosen by Surfbirds, the world birding website, as one of the best British images of 2007.
