Welcome to Richard Birchett Wildlife Photography Flickr page. I am a published and award-winning photographer based in Cornwall, and more recently I presented a short film for BBC Winterwatch. I've featured on BBC Radio & TV and I regularly contribute to magazines on Wildlife and Conservation and I was shortlisted last year in the British Photography Awards (BPA). Also I have just had one of my images chosen for the front cover of the Spring edition of BBC Wildlife Magazine. I've also been a winner and contributor to calendars books, magazines and more.

Keen to promote and highlight Wildlife in Cornwall and further afield, I regularly contribute to Natural England/National Trust and the Natural Lizard website and also help run Instagram takeovers for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

I’ve spent the last 22 years in the UK Military as a Survival Specialist. I like to adapt my skills as a pathfinder to allow me to track, stalk and photograph wildlife in all environments.

I hope through my experience and pictures I highlight all the great benefits the natural world has to offer, in terms of its healing properties with mental & physical health and help you reconnect with Nature. My belief is the welfare of the subject in Nature photography is paramount.

Follow me on my YouTube channel! Showing you my adventures around the UK and further afield.

I am also a qualified member of the Society of International Nature & Wildlife Photographers (SINWP).

I live in a village called Gweek in Cornwall with my wife Sarah, young son Henry and my two dogs Monty & Myah.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to look at my flickr page; I hope you enjoy looking at my images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Kind regards

Richard Birchett
