Wild Planet feature for red squirrel photograph

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.

Birds of a Feather - Canon PhotoPlus apprentice shoot

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.

This is featured in issue 140 of PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, to buy your print or digital edition, or go to www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/photography/PhotoPlus-Member.html

In the Far North Magazine by Inari-Saariselka Tourism

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.

Trout & Salmon Magazine photo debut

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.

Fly Fishing for Cumbrian Gold - FishandFly.com

The superbly marked cheek of a large Cumbrian brown trout.

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...

2016 Azores Big Game Fishing - Saltwater Boat Angling Magazine

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.
