Huxley’s Bird of Prey Centre

Every time we’ve driven into the nearby town of Horsham, we’ve noted the little tourism sign highlighting a bird of prey centre. We usually saw it when we were doing something, or on the way home from...

Tilgate Nature Centre

The Royal Parks Again

Back when I lived in Twickenham, some of my go-to places whenever I needed to take a day for some fresh air and some photography were the Royal Parks. We had Bushy Park and Richmond Park a quick drive...

British Wildlife Centre

Big Cat Sanctuary

A little while ago, and for reasons I don’t particularly remember, my wife was given an experience day voucher by her work. She ultimately chose to visit the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent to feed some big...

Drusillas Park

Nestled in the Sussex countryside not that far from Eastbourne is Drusillas Park. It’s one of those places where I can take photographs of animals and my kid can have fun on some rides (and also look...

Garden Wildlife

Let’s get this out of the way from the start: this post will contain images of tits and peckers. Whether that helps or hinders the popularity of this post remains to be seen. (Although an early...

London Wetlands Centre

I’ve had a fair amount of success lately in shooting and editing pictures at various locations. Actually writing them, however, is still proving a bit of a challenge. We’re at that time of year when,...
