Entries in the ‘Wildlife’

#mentalhealth #powerofnature

Each time you enter nature you always learn something new, whether it be about the subjects behaviour or fieldcraft technic. You must always put the subjects welfare before any images you take. Remembering you are a guest in their world.

There is something so special seeing a wild Barn Owl quartering, hovering with moth like silence while hunting. Flying effortlessly on the wing in the half-light at dawn or dusk.

My images represent an event that occurred in the wild something that I witnessed and recorded with my camera.

Listen to a one minute podcast for Mindful on how nature can help your mental fitness.

The Peak District National Park is a popular breeding site for the Ring Ouzel. A beautiful bird that is part of the Thrush family; Turdus torquatus. In Britain they are of high conservation concern and are classified as Red Listed due to their population decline in the last forty years.

Following on from Mental Health Awareness week I’m going to be posting regular short films showing the beauty of nature.

The aim will be to help you feel connected to nature, which is so important for our mental health. #mentalhealth

Each year a pair of Blackbirds nest in my back garden. They are one of my favourite birds and have such a beautiful and evocative call.
