Born in Adelaide, Aus. Moved to Orkney from Darwin, Aus, love the rugged beauty of the place and massive diversity of wildlife. Got a major soft spot for short eared owls and they seem to be very tolerant of my efforts :-)

Trying to stick to a maximum focal length of 300mm for wildlife/bird shots, and hone my 'sneaking up' skills. Very frustrating when the long stalk (often through boggy ground) ends with the subject flying off the second my finger gets near the shutter button! , but it all adds to the fun :-)
