Hi everyone! My first post here. I'm a wildlife and landscape photographer living in France and running holidays for like-minded photographers here. Hope you enjoy my images! #wildlifephotography
A Short Eared Owl having a shake shortly after waking up. It's always a privilege when these birds accept you into their proximity and exhibit natural behaviour.

A male Hawfinch at one of our drinking pools. In the summer it gets hot and very dry here so the pools we created attract a wide range of bird species (over forty have been observed from one of our hides).

Another #RedSquirrel image but this time rim-lit against the low winter sun. They have such a distinctive silhouette with their bushy tail and ear tufts.

Brimstone Butterflies courting. This species is understood to be the reason that 'butter'flies are called just that. The rich yellow males are one of the first species taking to the air across Europe in Springtime.

Red Squirrels are one of my favourite photographic subjects and here in the forest in France we live surrounded by them. Sometimes we get to watch them from our bed as they scamper though the oak trees close to the house.

A Turtle Dove photographed from one of our woodland hides. These stunning birds will be arriving soon to breed in the surrounding forest. I always look forward to seeing them.

Are there any #European alternatives to Adobe software out there? Looking for something to replace Lightroom in particular. #photography #adobe #lightroom #europe #software

Good morning! Here's a Little Owl perched on a garden fork. These tiny owls make up for their size with lots of attitude! #wildlife
