Portrait

    • Red Grouse Silhouette, Derbyshire, Peak District National Park. Silhouette of a red grouse against a vibrant sunset sky. This was one of the trickiest images to achieve during my project, as the grouse always seemed to choose either a distracting perch or they would tuck themselves right down into the vegetation when the light was just right. I eventually got a break when Famous chose this nice clear rock as a calling post at the end of a beautiful afternoon. This image was taken during my long term red grouse project where I spent several months photographing red grouse as they warmed up to the breeding season. Grouse are often very flighty and nervous, but after  spending so much time with the same birds some of the grouse got so used to my presence they ignored me and got on with their day allowing me to capture much more natural behaviour.

    • Rock Ptarmigan, Cairngorm Mountain, Cairngorms. Alongside black grouse, ptarmigan were one of my main targets during my time in Scotland. Another member of the grouse family, many people choose not to photograph ptarmigan during the Spring, but I think they look fantastic in their patchwork plumage!  As I hadn't tried to photograph them before, I wasn't entirely sure where to go. But after some research on typical habitat, I began the two hour hike into the mountains to begin my search. After a fruitless couple of hours, I eventually heard the distinctive croaking calls high up on the mountain side. Ptarmigan are amazingly well camouflaged in their habitat, so although I could hear them I couldn't see any birds at all! All I could do was sit and wait for one to show itself, and show they did!  In flight the white wings stand out like a sore thumb against the dusty red rock and I carefully manoeuvred through the boulder field towards where it had landed. Although initially they were very wary of me, I was amazed at how confiding they were when approached with proper fieldcraft and I was able to get within a couple of metres of several individuals. This striking male was very feisty, displaying and chasing off any competitors hoping for a chance with his lady, hidden away in the rocks.

    • Backlit Heron. Although London may seem a strange choice for wildlife photography, it can actually provide some of the best opportunities as the wildlife is so habituated. This backlit portrait of a grey heron is one of my favourites from a trip to the capital. By exposing for the highlights the subject has some great rim light and the background is completely blacked out.

    • Aggressive Golden Jackal. Jackal snarling at a nearby rival over food. New Delhi, India. These wolf like canids are incredibly wary and have been very difficult to photograph. However after lots of perseverance and a change in tactics I finally started to get some good results! These Indian Golden Jackals have adapted well to life in an urban environment, scavenging leftover bread and fruits brought for the monkeys and feral cows and pigs in Delhi's ridge forest.
