Brackley Images Nature and wildlife photography by Martin Brackley I am a photographer based in Surrey, England, but with roots in Southern Africa.

My fascination with wildlife and the outdoors started in my childhood in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Lesotho, where I spent as much time as I could outdoors, catching snakes, lizards and frogs. There is so much to see on this planet, and I hope to share it with you through my photos!

Sunrise reflecting on the ice may be my new favourite thing. Here's a selection of photos from Bushy Park early this morning, ranging from just before sunrise, to just after. The lakes are still frozen after last week's cold snap, and the birds are either ice-skating or crowding into the unfrozen patches.
