We, the Horrocks family, enjoy all aspects of wildlife but particularly like finding, watching and photographing birds in the UK.

This site is work in progress. Our aim is to photograph as many UK/Ireland bird species as possible. As at April 2015 we have clocked 212 species.

Some photos have been transferred from our old website and many are still in a smaller format than we would like. Over time we will replace them with larger, better quality images.

All photos have been taken in the wild (NONE are captive birds/animals) in the UK and the Rep. of Ireland.

Most of the recent photos were taken by Katie Horrocks (b. 2000)
