Blog Introduction

In this blog I intend to share my personal experiences of being a wildlife cameraman. I'll also write about nature conservation, and anything related that I want to have a rant about. It's said that the novel is the last bastion of free speech, so I'll also be featuring my work on 'The Life and Times of Tudor Morgan' series. In between times I like chopping wood, in a microscopic way: it's like a therapy, so I'll be writing about wood sculpture too.

A… Continue Reading

Filming woodcock – it’s all about the snow

Filming woodcock – it’s all about the snow Sometimes being a wildlife cameraman seems to be about nothing but bad luck. ‘You should have been here yesterday’. ‘If you can hang on another day I’m sure the birds will come’.
