Birds were how I got into photography, and still the majority of what I go hunting for. London is surprisingly good for birding - not much really rare turns up, but what is here is fearless. If you’re scared of people, you live somewhere else. Mostly I’ll be shooting birds in the local parks, but there’s also a wealth of reserves: Rainham Marshes, the London Wetland Centre, Rye Meads, Beddington Farmlands, and Walthamstow Wetlands are probably the ones I’ll most frequently visit. Everything here was shot with the Sony 200-600 f6.3.
There’s nothing wrong with bird-on-stick photos. I have loads of them, and some of the ones I like best are on here.
But my favourite photos are the ones which capture action or behaviour, like this pair of dunnocks squabbling over territory.
