    • Sheffield Waxwing. The waxwing, a colourful winter visitor to the UK. These stunning birds come to the UK to feast on the berry crop when there is a shortage of food for them at home. This only happens periodically and when large numbers of them appear it's known as an irruption. This is one of around 30 waxwings I photographed in 2019 next to the busy Ecclesall road in my home city of Sheffield. Although they had been around for a couple of weeks I waited until the tree tops were bare so that I could photograph them against the colours of the brickwork on the lower branches.

    • Sheffield Waxwings. Colourful winter visitors to the UK. These stunning birds come to the UK to feast on the berry crop when there is a shortage of food for them at home. This only happens periodically and when large numbers of them appear it's known as an irruption. This pair of Waxwings were enjoying the berry crop on a busy urban street in my home city of Sheffield. It was a real pleasure to be able to see these stunning birds so close to home, next to the busy Ecclesall road in my home city of Sheffield. Although they had been around for a couple of weeks I waited until the tree tops were bare so that I could photograph them against the colours of the brickwork on the lower branches.

    • Sanderling at dawn taken during a recent trip to the Lincolnshire coast. After a treacherous walk across the salt marshes in the pitch black, I arrived at the shore well before sunrise and set up to wait for the tide to change. After what felt like an age the sun finally started to rise and a group of sanderlings and dunlins scuttled across the sand in front of me, plucking crustaceans out of the surf . This Sanderling paused briefly, allowing a series of portraits in the blue dawn half light.

    • Abstract Seal. The day before my seal workshops began I headed down to the beach at dawn to work on my personal portfolio. Whilst I was photographing the colony in the sea, I turned and noticed this lone seal across a channel of water. The low winter sun glistened off the water beautifully causing the bokeh in the foreground but leaving the seal in shadow.

    • A fluffy white seal pup taken during one of my grey seal workshops. By approaching very slowly and carefully we were able to get close without causing disturbance. Seals are typically very inquisitive creatures and this pup came closer to give us a good look!

    • Seals are naturally very inquisitive animals and whilst we were photographing them playing in the surf, they kept taking it in turns to get closer to investigate us. This seal came right up out of the water and gave us a good look before heading back out into the waves to join their friends.
