A wife, mother and grandmother originally from a small village in Worcestershire. I am a vegetarian interested in anything to do with the natural world. I enjoy birdwatching, walking ,gardening for nature, being out and about in the countryside and spending time with my family, which includes 6 grandfurbabies. I hate any sort of cruelty to or exploitation of animals. My early wildlife photographs were digiscoped( using my spotting scope as a long lens) and then a Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 bridge camera. Since May 2018 I have been using a DMC-FZ2000 bridge camera.
