The Norfolk Spring tides are the biggest and best tides for witnessing the thousands of birds feeding on the mudflats, being pushed closer to shore.

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.

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.

The amazing Global Birdfair is back. This unique event brings together wildlife conservationists, representatives of nature, travel, birders and natural history enthusiasts from all over the world.

Water voles are in trouble, they are our fastest declining mammal. In the 1980’s and 90’s they suffered a catastrophic 90% drop in their population, largely due to the spread of American mink, which were introduced into our countryside through illegal releases or escapes from fur farms.

Each year I look forward to the Pied Flycatchers and Redstart’s arriving from North Africa. Those that follow my blog will know each summer I try to photograph both of these species in the Peak District National Park.
