...another middle-aged wildlife enthusiast, though lucky enough to have a day job as manager of the RSPB Mid Yare Nature Reserves - better known as Strumpshaw Fen and adjacent sites in the Yare Valley, East Norfolk, UK. I have an inordinate fondness for bees and wasps, many groups of flies, beetles increasingly, most insects in fact, and not forgetting my first love birds, vascular plants and biodiversity in general. I currently use a Canon SX50, often with a Raynox 250 close-up lens though photography usually takes second place to recording species.
