Sometimes nature hides the most extraordinary stories in the smallest places…
Look closely.
Nestled among the delicate, dried seed heads is a tiny field mouse — perfectly camouflaged, completely at home, and somehow looking straight into the camera as though he owns the place.
There is something magical about wildlife photography: you can walk past a scene a hundred times and never notice the little life unfolding right in front of you.

Tiny paws. Huge personality. Wild beauty.

Mercedes... ✯Mercedes✯

There are some shoots that stay with me long after the lights have been packed away.

Photographing Mercedes wrapped in a froth of tulle, reclining on a beautiful chaise longue, was one of those moments. There was something almost dreamlike about the softness of the fabric against the elegance of the chaise — and I knew immediately that I wanted to create something more than just another image.

I wanted to create art.

I love seeing my own work in print. There is something very different about holding an image in your hands or seeing it framed on a wall rather than scrolling past it on a screen.

For me, that's where photography becomes really special — when an image becomes something you can live with. And that feels rather wonderful.

A little woodland acrobat…
Meet the Nuthatch — a tiny bird with a big personality!

With its beautiful blue-grey back, warm chestnut sides and distinctive black eye-mask, this little beauty is a joy to photograph.

And did you know? Nuthatches climb head-first down tree trunks — something very few birds can do!

One of those fleeting wildlife moments that makes you stop, watch and simply enjoy nature.

From Africa’s Big Five to Britain’s tiniest wildlife...
I’m used to photographing elephants, lions and leopards, but there’s something incredibly special about photographing harvest mice.

Tiny, elusive and constantly moving, they are a real challenge to capture — especially as they disappear into the teasel and wildflowers in seconds!

Wildlife photography isn’t always about the biggest subjects. Sometimes the smallest create the biggest photographic challenge.

The great spotted woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker. It nests in holes that it excavates in trees in woodlands and parks. It has a distinctive, bouncing flight, but is mostly likely to be heard, rather than seen.

In spring, it marks its territory with a distinctive 'drum', hammering its beak against a tree or other hard surface.

Great spotted woodpeckers eat insects and their larvae, chipping away bark and probing tree trunks with their extremely sticky tongue. In autumn and winter, they will also eat seeds and nuts, often visiting peanut feeders in gardens.

A Tiny Mouse in a Sea of Flowers

There is something utterly magical about photographing a harvest mouse amongst the delicate blooms of gypsophila.

So tiny, so perfectly at home amongst the stems and flowers, this little mouse seemed to disappear one moment and reappear the next — weaving through the clouds of white blossom as though it had its own secret garden.

I love photographing wildlife as it naturally behaves, without forcing a pose or disturbing the moment. It is those fleeting, completely natural interactions that make wildlife photography so special.

A tiny creature, surrounded by tiny flowers, creating one very beautiful moment...even better when joined by a second harvest mouse balancing together on those fragile floral stems!

Since we are looking at cute little critters...here is another image from my wonderful day spent with Dean Mason at Windows on Wildlife.

This was my third visit to Dean's paradise in Colehill near Wimbourne Minster and I never leave disappointed. The mice and birds do their natural thing in spaces that encourage their typical behaviour. Nothing is staged. This image is just one of those very special shots you are sometimes lucky to capture...it is a portrait of a little family of harvest mice, curious, bright-eyed and active.And just like family portraits not everyone chooses to look at the camera. Enjoy!
