Personal

The photos I take when nobody's paying me to. Wildlife, quiet moments, and whatever else caught my eye between jobs.

A brown hare sitting alert in long grass, ears up, looking towards the camera.
A kingfisher perched on a lichen-covered branch, blue and orange plumage sharp against a soft green background.
A jay perched on a mossy log, its blue wing feathers catching the light.
A chaffinch peering through young green leaves on a lichened branch.
A nightjar resting motionless along a dead branch, camouflaged against the bark.
A gatekeeper butterfly resting on an ear of wheat in golden evening light.
A young roe deer standing in a stubble field, looking back over its shoulder.
A roe deer picking its way through a flowering summer meadow.
Two ponies in rough grassland, the nearest looking straight down the lens.
A man in a panama hat watching the beach from a striped deckchair at First Light Festival.
