I sometimes forget that I have great opportunities to work with light, space and local species up the road. On clear mornings, the light and mist can be heavenly at my local nature reserve. The challenge I have set myself, is to look again at common species, and try to photograph them not just in a new way, but capture beauty in the scene and in the moment…

Swans on an early misty morning taken with an ultra wide lens
Canada goose using a low perspective and not being afraid to shoot direct into the light. I like the abstract shape the reflection of the sun forms around the bird and the warmth of the colours.
