Hey look, it’s a picture of me!
After a few issues with the pressure sensor on the housing and some truly awful vis I came away from a weekend of diving with no good photos- however, on the positive side it was fantastic to be back in the water working on some more projects!

The weather up in the glen was madness today, 10 minutes of hail, then ten minutes of sun- rinse & repeat! A few repairs needed on the boxes, always cautious this time of year but it doesn’t look like anyone has moved it yet!
Currently there are 11 boxes, each built for a different species and scattered across Glenkin- house repairs are coming along and I’m hoping to turn some scraps into a Pine marten box to sit on the edge of the forest.
I’m attempting to post slightly more regularly so hopefully it won’t be another 6 months till I see y’all again…

I’m delighted to announce that a selection of my prints are now for sale in Bookpoint Dunoon!
I’m currently trialling 4 card designs as well as a selection of my favourite landscapes and wildlife printed on aluminium sheets, no frame required!
The end photo shows all 5 designs available, any questions or if Bookpoint sells out of your favourite (the jelly fish print has already gone!) then drop me a message!

Apologies for a lack of photos recently. I haven’t been able to share this until now… but I’m working on a feature wildlife documentary film in Lincolnshire!
I’ve joined the crew as their wildlife camera operator, so lots of 4am starts and sitting in makeshift hides the last few months, but some awesome footage!
(And hopefully a few more months to go!)
And for those of you who liked my owl film… the script for the sequel is finished! Less owls, more Scottish wildlife! A long way off, but helped by the last piece of news: I’ve sold my entire camera setup and bought my dream camera!
In fact the last photo is my whole new setup! (So expect a fairly big quality jump for the next instalment!)
Between filming, script writing and also bartending when I’m home in Scotland I haven’t been out with the camera much- but those who follow me for the photography I promise there’s lots more in planning!

Photographically not the strongest photos, but how many times do you see a fox wandering the cliffs of Avon gorge? Stood on the suspension bridge surrounded by kestrels and the odd peregrine it was quite a surreal moment!
Extra points if you can spot the fox in the wide at the start!

A huge Thank you to everyone who came to see my screening of ‘In Search of Owls’ in Bristol last night!
It was amazing to see so many people there, including a lot of ex- MNHP and seemingly half of BBC Bristol!
Hopefully I’ll see some of you one day in a BBC office someday…

Apologies for being absent for a while here, adjusting to the non-student life for the first time in 16 years, hopefully back to my usual schedule in a month or so!
In other news… I’m very happy to announce I will be screening my film “In search of owls” in Bristol this Friday for a week- if you are nearby please come take a look!
I’m exhibiting along side an incredibly talented group of friends, so there’s something to interest everyone!

A true Argyll traffic jam, between stages the rally cars getting stuck behind a few locals out for a drive!
Swipe to the end for more rally driving, and back to wildlife now I promise!

Bit of a change of pace, the Argyll Rally passed by the end of the road last night!
Even with the torrential rain they looked pretty incredible against the mountains!
