Counting down the days until I return to Fair Isle this summer with two sold-out groups for my Realm Of The Puffin: Fair Isle trips. No matter how many puffin colonies I visit. Fair Isle still remains my favourite place in the world to photograph puffins. The light, the cliffs, the atmosphere, and those endless close encounters never get old. There’s just something special about watching these birds return each year and sharing that experience with others who love wildlife photography as much as I do. Summer can’t come soon enough. 🐧📷

NEW PORTFOLIO LIVE 🌊 Falklands: Spirit Of The South Atlantic is now live on my website. The Falkland Islands are a place completely shaped by the Atlantic. The weather, the wildlife, the landscapes, even the feeling you get standing on those windswept shores everything is tied to the power and rhythm of the ocean surrounding them. Its raw, remote and endlessly wild. These islands feel like they exist at the edge of the world. Endless coastlines, towering colonies of penguins, albatross gliding effortlessly above crashing waves, and a silence only broken by the wind and sea. Honestly, the Falklands is one of the most incredible places I’ve ever had the privilege to photograph. This portfolio is a collection of moments that try to capture that relationship between the Falklands and the South Atlantic, a place where land and ocean are completely intertwined. @wildlifeworldwidetravel Every Monday a brand new portfolio will be going live on my website, featuring different species, locations and stories from the wild. 👀 Link in bio as always.

Diffused light doesn’t always have the attention it deserves, but honestly, I love working in these softer conditions. There’s something special about the subtle atmosphere it creates. On Grimsey, the cloud drifting across the sun turned the light into this beautiful soft glow behind the guillemot, allowing me to strip the image right back to simplicity. By exposing for the brightest part of the frame, the bird falls into silhouette while the misty layers add depth and atmosphere without anything feeling too overpowering. It’s proof that dramatic images don’t always need dramatic light. I’ve included the RAW file alongside the final image too, because apart from a small tweak to the white balance, this is pretty much how it came out of the camera. A good reminder that so much of photography is about seeing the potential in the moment, rather than trying to rescue it later in editing. And Grimsey… what a place. The guillemots there are just incredible. Thousands packed onto the cliffs, constant movement, noise, and chaos everywhere you look. Add changing weather and shifting light into the mix and it’s honestly one of the most exciting places I’ve ever photographed seabirds.

Celebrating World Puffin Day. One summer, not long after first picking up a camera, I was lucky enough to visit Skomer Island, and without realising it at the time, that trip completely changed everything. That’s where my journey with seabirds began and where I first fell for the Atlantic puffin. They’re unmistakable. Brightly coloured bills, that slightly clumsy waddle… full of character. “Clowns of the sea" and “sea parrots" – they have this way of getting under your skin. You can’t help but smile watching them. Those early moments lit a spark. Growing up on the Wirral, I never imagined wildlife photography could even be a job… And yet here we are, a decade later. Since then, puffins have shaped everything. From being named Bird Photographer Of The Year for my work with them to publishing Puffins: Life On The Atlantic Edge, they’ve been at the heart of my story. I’ve spent years sitting on windswept clifftops, getting to know them properly. Their behaviour, their resilience, their connection to the wild edges of our coastline. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a few nicknames too… “Puffin Man" and “Prince of Puffins" – I'll take them. 😅 But it’s grown into something more than photography now. Protecting these birds and the fragile environments they depend on is what drives me most. I owe seabirds, especially puffins, everything; they’ve shaped my photographic career and deepened my connection to nature.

Snow, silence… and a little bit of attitude ❄️ Here are a few more images from our Frozen North tour across Finland & Norway with @jari_peltomaki & @shetland_nature A landscape where quiet, snow-covered forests give way to wild coastal cliffs, and the air is filled with the movement of seabirds. This was our third fully booked season running the trip, and as always, it had its own character. Slightly softer conditions this time, but still those brief, magical spells where the snow began to fall. These all come from one of those windows trying to capture a mix of personality, atmosphere, and something that felt real in the moment. Which one is your favourite?

Just back from guiding our annual Edge Of The Wild: Frozen North photography tour across Finland & Norway alongside @jari_peltomaki & @shetland_nature 🌨️ Where snow-dusted forests meet dramatic coastal cliffs, and the sky comes alive with thousands of seabirds… it’s a place that never gets old. This was our third sold-out year running the trip, and once again, it delivered in its own unique way. Conditions were a touch milder than usual this time, but we were still treated to those magical, fleeting bursts of snowfall ❄️ And you all know me… anytime I get to photograph Atlantic puffins in the snow, it feels special. Those moments never lose their magic. 2027 details coming soon — if you’d like to join us, drop me a message here or head over to the website for more info.

Just home after a great couple of days speaking on the main Canon stand at the @thephotographyshow sharing my journey across the British Isles & it’s puffin colonies. What meant the most was being able to share the stories behind it all — the camping trips, the forgotten tents, riding out thunderstorms, and living off far too many cheese toasties. That’s the real side of it for me, and it felt good to bring people into that world a little and not just show the finished images. And as always, the best part was chatting to so many of you afterwards. Hearing what you’re working on, your ideas, your plans — that’s what makes it all worth it. Huge thank you to @canonuk for the opportunity, and to everyone who came along and listened… I really appreciate it. @canonemeapro

I’m making no excuse for posting this again… It’s been a few years since I shared it, but it’s still my most popular image by a long way. And every time I look at it I ask the same question… Is it an Arctic Fox… or is it a Pokémon? This little character appeared on the tundra with the wind blowing its fur in every direction, looking less like a fox and more like a slightly grumpy ball of fluff.

Last-Minute Space Available – Land Of The Midnight Sun Due to a late cancellation, a space has just opened up on my Land of the Midnight Sun photography tour to Grímsey Island, Iceland, which I’m leading alongside my good friend @davidgibbonphotography 📅 Dates: 18–25 June 2026 This is a really special trip. Grímsey sits right on the Arctic Circle and in June the sun never truly sets. The island becomes alive with seabirds, including puffins, and the endless golden light gives us incredible opportunities for wildlife photography throughout the day and night. It’s an intimate, small-group experience with plenty of time in the field, guidance, and the chance to photograph one of Iceland’s most unique and remote locations. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is a rare opportunity for a last-minute place. 📩 Drop me a message if you’d like the details or want to grab the spot.

I had a great time yesterday evening giving my talk, Coast to Mountains, to the High Peak Camera Club. It's always nice to spend an evening with people who share the same passion for photography and the natural world. The talk follows a journey through some of the places that keep pulling me back out with the camera — from our wild coastlines right through to the high peaks — sharing a few stories and moments from along the way. Also worth mentioning, there are still a few places remaining on my Falklands photography trip starting 5 November 2026 with @wildlifeworldwidetravel . The Falklands really is one of the most incredible wildlife destinations on the planet — vast open landscapes, huge seabird colonies and wildlife that seems completely unfazed by your presence. It’s an extraordinary place to experience and photograph.

Sorry for the radio silence — I promise I’m still here. It’s been full-on since the turn of the year, but I really appreciate all the support on the previous awarded image. The messages genuinely meant a lot. I’m looking forward to speaking on the @canonuk stand at @thephotographyshow soon — Then it’s Norway at the end of the month — fingers crossed for puffins in the snow. If you’re at the show, come and say hey. Taken whilst guiding for @wildlifeworldwidetravel last year.

And That’s a Wrap on Mountain Hare Season 🎉 Sixteen days on the hill guiding mountain hares… and just like that, it’s done. This season delivered the full Highland mix. Wind that leans you sideways. Rain that somehow finds the one gap in your waterproofs. Moments of golden light pouring across the plateau. Snow drifting in quietly, changing the whole mood in minutes. Sometimes all in the space of a single session. The hares were exceptional. Hardy, expressive, completely at home in the chaos of it all. Every day felt different. Every encounter had its own character. That unpredictability — that quiet question of what will today bring? — is exactly why guiding them never gets old. But what really makes these sixteen days special isn’t just the wildlife or the light — it’s the people who make the climb. The clients who’ve battled the wind, waited patiently in the snow, laughed through sideways rain, and shared those silent moments when a hare lifts its head and looks straight through you. That’s the bit that stays with you. To everyone who joined me on the mountain this season — thank you. For the effort, the good humour, the resilience, and the shared respect for these incredible animals. I haven’t even had the chance to properly look through this year’s images yet — so here’s one from last season to mark the close. The sorting and reliving starts soon. For now, boots off… kettle on.
