Hello! This is my nature photography blog. I primarily post wildlife photos, but will post the occassional landscape photo!

‘Northern Gannet at St. Kilda’

I was fortunate enough to visit the legendary islands of St. Kilda in 2015 and ended up getting this amazing shot! I was so pleased with this as the boat was rocking about a lot!

The northern gannet has a very large colony out at St. Kilda and is the largest seabird of the northern Atlantic. They take 5 years to reach their adult plumage, and are also my favourite of the pelagic birds!

‘Rain over Mull’

This photo was certainly an adventure to take! I went for a walk on the Isle of Mull, going from where I was staying and up onto a hill. Due to my walking boots being soaked, I had to wear my walking sandles. There was no path and I had to walk through the bog you can see in the picture. The water was ice-cold but the view were worth it!

I came to a flat area and saw the stunning area above, suddenly the hills of Mull looked far bigger and the rain cast a perfect atmospheric light over the hills!

‘Fluke in the Mist’

This was taken in British Columbia, 2016 off Northern Vancouver Island. This was a pretty special day and one I remember vividly. A thick fog had sent in over night, but when you’re whale-watching such things do not stop you! Into the fog we went to be treated to witnessing anywhere between 10-15 breaches by the spectacular humpback whale. It was a surreal experience as you could not see probably more than 200m at best and suddenly this gigantic creature would erupt out of calm water.

As the fog cleared and we started to head back, one animal decided to dive at angle and I was fortunate enough to capture this shot.
