With the warming temperatures, lighter evenings and the morning dawns becoming earlier, Spring is upon us. It’s my favourite time of year as the countryside is bursting with life.

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.

Being at one with nature is truly amazing and with respect, time and effort everyone is capable of witnessing beautiful moments each time they enter the natural world.

Short-eared Owls are commonly seen hunting during the day here in the UK. During the Winter months their numbers can increase greatly with an influx of birds from the continental.

If you’d like to see and learn more about these beautiful owls, I run Short-eared Owl workshops all year round.

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.

Connecting people with nature, that is what I do. I dont care what awards you have won or how many followers or likes you have. How you treat nature tells me all I need to know about you.

As the weather gets colder it’s a testing time for wildlife. Always remember when working with nature they come first and the last thing you want to do is to impose yourself to quickly or scare the subject you’re wishing to photograph.
