Introduction.
Bird
photography is my passion, more than a hobby, all that I have is
given to it.
Although I'm quite enthusiastic, there is a serious side to my
character. Conservation is important to me.
I pass on my work to conservation bodies, but ask
for a £10.00 cheque (per image used) , made out to 'The Wildlife
Trust for Northamptonshire' to be given in return. If no paid
designers or printers are involved, I will give certain
images free of charge.
