New Video out now on YouTube....

For the first time, I head into the heart of Brazil's incredible Pantanal, one of the world's great wildlife wildernesses, in search of the animals that call these vast floodplains home.

The Pantanal is an extraordinary place. Spanning a huge area of central South America, it is one of the largest tropical wetland ecosystems on Earth.
During the wet season, enormous areas are transformed by water, creating a constantly changing landscape of rivers, lagoons, grasslands, forests and flooded plains.

And hidden within this wilderness is one of the world's most elusive big cats, the Jaguar.

Check out my journey into the Pantanal..

Day 2 on Exmoor – Red Deer, Wild Weather & a Splash of Colour! 🍂📸**

Another day out on Exmoor with one of my clients, searching for the magnificent Red Deer during the rut. The weather certainly presented a few challenges, but that's all part of wildlife photography! You have to work with the conditions nature throws at you.

And of course, it's not always about mammals and deer. There's always time to appreciate and photograph other subjects along the way, including this beautiful Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria*). 🍄

With its striking red cap and white spots, this iconic fungus looks almost like something from a fairy tale. But don't let its beauty fool you! Fly Agaric is poisonous to humans and can cause serious poisoning if eaten, affecting the nervous system and causing symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations and loss of coordination.

Interestingly, some wild mammals and birds have been observed eating Fly Agaric, although that doesn't mean it's harmless to them. Its toxins can affect animals too, and it certainly isn't something to experiment with!

A reminder that wildlife photography is about so much more than the main subject. Sometimes, slowing down and noticing the smaller details can be just as rewarding as finding a magnificent stag.

Quick Question????

Any of my Cornish Followers ever seen these in Cornwall? If so please PM me as I'd love to see more of these amazing Fungi...

**Magical Exmoor – I’m Back! 🦌📸**

After three years away in North America, it feels wonderful to be back on Exmoor for the Red Deer rut and my first workshop of the season, with a fantastic week of clients ahead!

The weather was a real mixed bag, with sunny spells and passing showers, but every change brought its own magic to this incredible landscape that feels like a second home to me.

We enjoyed some fine Red Deer Stags with hinds, although numbers of hinds seem a little lower this year, with the stags roaming further afield in search of a harem. The challenge is all part of the adventure!

And on the drive home, just as the last light was fading, I was lucky enough to capture this beautiful Merlin hunting along the roadside. A magical end to a wonderful day!

**Exmoor never fails to deliver, whatever the weather.** ❤️

Fancy joining me on the moor in 2027? 🦌📷

🐊 From the sweltering wilds of Brazil to the windswept moors of Exmoor! 🦌

One of my final images from an incredible month exploring the Pantanal, Cerrado and Southern Amazon captures this Yacare caiman, lurking in the shadows beneath a huge tree stump, perfectly concealed and patiently waiting for an unsuspecting victim to wander just a little too close. A master of ambush, it’s a reminder that danger can be hiding in plain sight! Thankfully, I was a little too large to feature on the menu! 😅

After weeks of soaring temperatures, relentless humidity and extraordinary wildlife encounters, I’m now back in the UK and straight into work, running my Red Deer Rut photography workshops on Exmoor.

Talk about a change of scene! Gone are the tropical heat and humid jungles, replaced by amber warnings for strong winds, yellow warnings for heavy rain, and the threat of increased flooding. 🌧️💨
From stalking caiman in the heat of the tropics to braving the wild and unpredictable weather of the British moors, the contrast couldn’t be more dramatic!

Now, as I head into the final week on Exmoor, I’m keeping everything crossed for a break in the weather and some better conditions to seek out the magnificent Red Deer stags. With the rut in full swing, there’s still the chance of some spectacular encounters, dramatic clashes and unforgettable photography.

Let’s hope the weather gods are listening! 🤞🦌

🦉 Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl | Cerrado, Brazil 🇧🇷

Small but mighty! The Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium brasilianum) is a lively little predator, measuring around 15–18 cm (6–7 inches) in length. Despite its tiny size, it’s fiercely territorial and fearless, often taking on prey surprisingly large for its stature.

These owls are active throughout the day, frequently moving between perches, but they can also be remarkably elusive, disappearing into cover and spending plenty of time tucked away out of sight. 👀

Their range is impressive, extending from the southern United States through Mexico and Central America into much of South America, including Brazil. They thrive in a variety of habitats, from dry scrub and savanna to woodland edges, making the Cerrado a wonderful place to encounter them.

A tiny owl with a huge personality! 🌿📸

New Video OUT NOW!!

In this video, I head out with my tools and make the journey up the narrow country lane, across the fields and into our meadow to install something I’m really hoping will make a difference, a brand-new Kestrel nesting box.

But why install one? And what makes a good home for a breeding Kestrel?

🦜💦 Another golden moment in the wilds of Brazil! 🇧🇷

The breathtaking vistas and cascading waterfalls of Chapada dos Guimarães were already unforgettable, but watching these magnificent Red-and-Green Macaws fly straight through the waterfall was pure magic! ❤️💚💙

I like to think they were enjoying a refreshing shower in the mist! 😄

🌿 Did you know? Chapada dos Guimarães lies in Brazil’s biodiverse Cerrado savanna, while Red-and-Green Macaws are among the world’s largest parrots, known for their brilliant colours and strong lifelong pair bonds.

Nature at its most spectacular — a moment to treasure forever! ✨

A spectacular sight in the Pantanal! 🦅🐌

On the Transpantaneira Highway, heading north from Jaguar Land, we witnessed huge numbers of juvenile & some adult Snail Kites hunting for snails and soaring together on the thermals. What an unforgettable wildlife moment!

Found across much of Central and South America, these specialist raptors thrive in wetlands, where they use their distinctive hooked bills to feed on aquatic snails. T

he Pantanal’s seasonal floods and rich wetlands make it an important habitat for these incredible birds. 💚
