I was very pleased to receive the news today that I have another wildlife photograph featured in Wild Planet magazine this month. Red squirrels are a particular favourite of mine up here in the Scottish highlands, and this one struck an unusual pose earlier this year that I was able to capture. I wonder what it was thinking to itself?
This was a favourite photo from the spring taken on a walk in Cawdor woods.

This was my 4th time back in the Azores attending the Azores Big Game Fishing Tournament - always a great time with good friends and an amazing location. My report was featured in Saltwater Boat Angling magazine in their January 2020 issue.
Following on from the ptarmigan photo that featured in Wild Planet, they very kindly published this photo of a snow bunting and included me as their ‘Featured Photographer’ in a subsequent 2019 issue.

Wild Planet is a high quality digital wildlife photography magazine that I have enjoyed looking at for a good while now. It was nice to be able to be featured alongside some other great winter wildlife imagery in their February issue.

Earlier this year I spent a glorious day down near the Welsh border at the International Centre for Birds of Prey in Newent, Gloucestershire with the editor of PhotoPlus - The Canon Magazine, Peter Travers, and their technique editor, James Artaius. They had invited me down to be their 'apprentice' for the day, a regular feature in the magazine, and had lined up professional wildlife photographer Ben Hall to be my tutor for the day. It was a fantastic opportunity and Ben was a great teacher, fine tuning my settings and technique to make the most of the day's subjects.

Very pleased to see my "Ringlet butterfly" photo in the Autumn 2017 issue of Wildlife Photography World. It was one of my favourite wildlife shots from last year, taken at the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks reserve in Sussex.
I was delighted that the Inari-Saariselka Tourism office in Finnish Lapland wanted to use my local salmon fishing story in their official tourism magazine. It starts on page 24 (Salmon Fishing By The Light of the Midnight Sun) but it is worth flicking through all the magazine to see what a visit to Finnish Lapland might have in store for you! I can highly recommend it and I will be going back as soon as I can for more fishing and wilderness adventures.
When I hatched a plan with Paul Procter last year to visit his main stomping grounds in the Cumbrian region of England, little did we both know what was to follow. Brown trout in the local rivers were the target but we could have never dreamed how the day would turn out, ending in his largest UK river trout ever. Paul wrote about the day's fishing in an exclusive story for Trout & Salmon Magazine's March 2018 issue and I supplied the photographs.
Totally at home on the banks of an English chalk stream - the Orvis Helios 3 F
I was invited by Orvis UK to test out their latest Helios 3 rods down on their beat of the River Test in Hampshire. I was not disappointed!

I took this pair of Zeiss TERRA ED Pocket Binoculars up to Scotland with me for an extended field trial - perfect for slipping in a pocket or fishing bag.

One of my favourite shots from a trip to Pesca Maya lodge in Mexico's beautiful Ascension Bay. Pleased to see it getting some love from Hatch Magazine.
The superbly marked cheek of a large Cumbrian brown trout.
In a county better known for the copper mining history of the Lake District, it was in fact the stunning golden-bellied brown trout of the wild Cumbrian rivers that had drawn me north from my home in Sussex in early May. I stayed at the wonderful Hole House Cottage courtesy of The Coppermines & Lakes Cottages and spent 2 days on the rivers with Paul Procter, fly fishing for large and superbly marked brown trout...

One of my all-time favourite photos features this year in the 2017 Salmon & Trout Conservation UK Gamefisher magazine on page 30 picturing Jeremy Lucas on the Upper Eden. I loved the way the river snakes off into the distance and the obvious concentration of an expert angler in action.
(By the way, that was also me on the cover of the 2016 issue!)
I trialled the ThermoTorch 5, the FireCel Mega 6 and the ThermoCharge 6 for FishandFly.com. Firstly, all great names – they just sound like they are exactly what you will need for your adventures in the great outdoors!...

The 2016 Azores Airlines Big Game Fishing Tournament drew in teams from both sides of the Atlantic to these idyllic islands and the weather was much better than my last visit 2 years ago. Being on the winning boat meant I got to see and photograph the winning blue marlin for my article published in Saltwater Boat Angling magazine.

It was a nice surprise to see my photograph of a pike being held low in the water prior to be being released named as Fly Dreamers photo of the week earlier in the month.
