Your Bio

All photos , (except the ones of me of course) , taken by me in the last four years or five years.
Last updated 12th June 2009

For the best viewing , choose a gallery , move cursor to the large photo , then select original size from the pop out list. Depending on your monitor , you may need to scroll to see everything.

Use the arrows at the top of the page to change photos. Click the photo to return to the gallery.

I don't recommend the slideshow option as it over enlarges some photos and spoils them.

New photos are being added weekly , sometimes daily. There are currently over 3,000 photos on view.

There are over 40 albums , scroll down this page to see them all .

You can find more of my photos on the Google Earth Map and at Panoramio.com .http://www.panoramio.com/user/95820

Comments are always appreciated , so please feel free to add your comment to any gallery or photo.

Various Birds : Currently around 90 species that I have photographed. I'm no birdwatcher , these are birds that anyone can see if they take their time and open their eyes to what is around them.Very often it's a matter of finding a likely spot , then sitting and waiting quietly to see what comes to you instead of going looking for them. Click and select ORIGINAL size.
