I have recently taken up photography after watching this years springwatch. I've always had an interest in wildlife and the natural world and I cant believe how much more active taking up photography has made me. I used to spend my days off vegetating in my room now I spend hours and hours outside taking photos.

You'll find a variety of different species in my photostream as living in the Forest of Dean means I have alot of different subjects to photograph. I have a wishlist of local animals and birds that I would love to photograph and at the top was Wild Boar. I finally managed to cross this one off my list in late June as I came across one whilst on a walk. I still have Hares, Badgers, Goshwaks and Red Kites to go.

I currently use the following equipment:-

Sony Alpha A200k

Sigma 150-500mm telephoto lens

Sony 75-300mm telephoto lens

Sony 18-70mm lens

Sigma 105mm macro lens

Lowepro fastpack 200.

I have found the following site very interesting and its full of very helpful and like minded people.
