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.

Sea trout like their cousins the salmon make their way upstream to spawn.
I was very pleased to be able to help out the Institute of Fisheries Management with their need for a sea trout image to grace the Spring 2016 cover of FISH, their very interesting members magazine.
Visiting likely locations to view and photograph leaping sea trout the last 3 years takes a lot of time and patience and there are plenty more occasions where nothing is seen than the few where I timed it just right. Still, having the chance to witness such a spectacular sight local to me in Sussex even just once a season makes all the cold muddy hikes across the countryside in the dead of winter worth it.

The Outdoor Writers Association of America is a professional body that brings together writers, photographers and other commentators on the outdoor world. I was very proud to have the cover shot and a portfolio inclusion in the May 2011 edition of their journal that is sent to all members.

The cover shot was of a bee busily gathering nectar on a brand full of May blossom in the spring sunshine.
Western bluebird in California
The portfolio image was of a male western bluebird that was perched conveniently in the open during a visit to Idyllwild in California.
