age 7 i was a budding fisherman, age 10 i was introduced to a very special place, Perivale Wood in west London. it's here i first got interested in birds. never a twitcher just me and my Dad out for a walk with binoculars. in 2000 i noticed my first comma butterfly (a bit late at 32 admittedly) but since then the world and wonders of nature of all types opened up to me. I'm by no means a photographer just an observer that takes pictures.
