Last week in the UK we endured freezing temperatures with thermometers dropping as low as minus 10 degrees here in Wales, certainly the coldest I have known it to be in the twelve years we have lived here. Whilst it may have been uncomfortable and inconvenient for us, spare a thought for our wildlife struggling…

A focus on frost
The UK is currently in the midst of winter, and as a cold front descends from the north temperatures have barely risen above freezing for days, dropping as low as minus 6 degrees celsius overnight here in our little welsh village. Brrr! A brief flurry of snow fell a few days ago and since then…
Starling watch resumes
After a dismal day full of driving rain and wind it looked like any hopes of a decent starling watch this evening were dashed. Fortunately as dusk approached the weather turned and a few tempting patches of blue sky began to appear. Heading out at the last minute, I arrived at the pier just in…
My favourite time of year
As the seasons change and the residual warmth and vibrant colours of autumn are replaced by the chill and bleakness of winter, these darkening days signal the start of my favourite time of year for photography. The return of Aberystwyth’s famous starling murmurations. Each winter here in Aberystwyth thousands of starlings gather in huge flocks…
Sighting: White Banded Digger Bee
Last week I took a long overdue holiday to visit family on the tiny island of Malta in the Medditeranean. Whilst much of the trip was spent enjoying quality time together (and taking lots of photos of my gorgeous nephew) I was still always ready to capture some of the natural beauty to be found…
Summer scorcher
The Botanic Gardens of Wales down in Carmarthen has become one of my favourite places for a day out. For a photographer there is always something new to discover here and the ever changing landscape of flowers never fails to disappoint and delight. My most recent visit was back in July, which also happened to…

New neighbours
After a frantic breeding season my red mason bees have now disappeared from the garden. Inside the bee box their larvae are concealed safe inside the nest chambers to await the arrival of next spring when they will emerge as adults and begin the cycle all over again. In their place another species of bees…
A charm of goldfinches
As work on transforming the bare garden into a wildlife friendly haven continues, the addition of a bird feeding station is the latest project which has been keeping me occupied in recent weeks. There was one bird in particular I was especially keen to entice, my favourite of all our british birds the stunning goldfinch….
A few of my favourite things…
