I managed to miss Threatened Species Day on Monday, but it seems a good reason to share this beautiful black rhino I photographed in Kenya.

Black rhinos are Critically Endangered, which makes every sighting in the wild feel incredibly special.

They are such extraordinary animals. Powerful, prehistoric-looking and surprisingly graceful. Seeing one walking towards us was one of those moments when I was very aware of just how lucky I was to be there, camera in hand.

Hopefully, thanks to the conservation work being done in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa, encounters like this will be possible for generations to come.

Update: now a triple award!! A highly commended from the International Association for Photographer has been added.

Double award delight!

I’m thrilled that my puffin portrait, “Feathering the Burrow”, received two awards this month:

Gold Award from The Society of Photographers
Silver Award from The Guild of Photographers

Captured with a feather held carefully in his beak, ready to help make the burrow a little more comfortable. I’m delighted that this special moment has been recognised by both organisations.

Puffin on Skomer Island - I’m delighted that this image has been awarded a gold in the The Society of Photographers . One of the first images I’ve edited since visiting the island these last couple of weeks. More to come…
Thank you!

That look.

Puffins are full of character, and this one had a wonderfully serious face.

I love photographing them up close like this. All that detail in the feathers, the colour in the bill, and those bright little eyes staring straight down the lens.

Tiny clown. Very dignified.

I’m delighted to share this article in the Henley Standard today!

Not the softest face in the room… but every feather tells a story.

Nature isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s powerful, raw, and built for survival. This vulture has a keen eye, hooked beak, and that wonderfully bare head made for the job it does best.

The clean-up crew. The unsung hero. Quietly keeping ecosystems in balance.

Wild doesn’t have to be cute to be beautiful. Are you a fan of vultures?
