About me

Gender Male
Occupation Consultant Radiologist
Location Scarborough, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Introduction Born in 1948 and brought up on a farm until mid-teens I acquired a love of wildlife early. After a school trip to the Shetland Isles I became passionate about birds, and began photographing them from about 16 years old. Mostly self taught I photograph wild birds and their environment, and give talks to local wildlife groups. I have travelled widely including the USA, West Indies, Europe, Africa and recently China on birdwatching/photography trips. I don't have a website, and try to inject some "art" into my photographs. I qualified in Medicine in 1972 and became a Consultant Radiologist in 1980. I have worked part-time 2 days per week for the last 3 years, but am fully retired now. I am secretary of Scarborough Field Naturalists, and Scarborough Birders, and a Director of Spurn Bird Observatory Trust Ltd. (a registered charity).
